Why women win which side of bed to sleep?

London: Ever wondered
why women are found to be calling the shots when it comes to
deciding which side of the bed to sleep on?
A survey carried out for bed manufacturer Rest Assured has found
that to get a good night's sleep, barely one in 10 men insists on
his preferred side. And while a quarter of couples disagree over
sleeping arrangements, the woman nearly always gets her way, the
Daily Express reported.
Experts say that by allowing them such a preference, they are
actually acting instinctively to "protect" their womenfolk in
situations where they feel vulnerable.
Reasons for women choosing one side of the bed over the other
range from wanting to avoid their sleeping partner breathing on
them to wanting the man to sleep nearest to the door so he can
confront any burglars.
According to psychologist Donna Dawson, who specialises in
personality, behaviour and relationships, men are naturally
designed to want to protect their female partner, "that means,
more often than not, they will allow her to call the shots over
'disputed territories' like preference for a certain side of the
bed.
"Women are far more likely to insist on things going their way
than a man too. Men are generally happy to adapt.
"There are lots of reasons why a woman prefers a certain side of
the bed - being furthest from the door and danger; being closest
to the door so she can deal with a crying baby; wanting to be
nearer the window for fresher air.
"The underlying message is women wear the trousers in the bedroom
and men generally don't put up much of a fight when it comes to
bedroom-related disputes."
