They watch movies, play board games, eat, share a bed, and then go to brunch the next day. Majority of our group are moms, two are not which depending on the house could be quiet or not.
Maybe it’s squeezing into a crowded bed, but I just have not enjoyed these occasions. Depending on the home, some have dogs that also crawl into the bed or lick and slobber on you while sleeping or awake. Overall, I’ve never enjoyed sleepovers as an adult but do this for them. I wish I could have more fun, they all seem to love this.
I opt out of them as well.
A) I sleep poorly due to chronic illness and menopause.
B) I’m a super early bird so either they are keeping me awake at midnight or I am waking them up at 5:30 AM.
Instead I either go home or get my own hotel room. Either way, the sleepover ends for me around 11.
