Slices of our lives are often left on the bedside table. The proof lies in the old photos that adorn it or the ring passed from mother to daughter lying on it that is a remnant of your punk rebellious adolescence.<\/p>

The bedside table is home to \"the objects that accompany us in sleep <\/a>and in our dreams,\" says psychotherapist and sex therapist Alain H\u00e9ril\u00a0who deciphered\u00a0what the objects we leave on our bedside table says about us. Women more than men also tend to question the symbolic dimension of dreams<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0are more attentive to its transition between day and night.<\/p>

Our bedside table indirectly echoes to sexuality, through a book that sparked an emotion or an image that's reminiscent of a strong relationship<\/a>.\u00a0\"A lot of men who have a functional relationship and less emotional turmoil have no night table\" says the therapist. But they make up for its lack\u00a0by leaving their mess in a corner of the room!<\/p>

\"Women still ensure domestic order, while\u00a0male disorderliness is a way to expresses legitimacy to have their own territory,\" says Karim Gacem sociologist. It's important to remember that the bedside table is where\u00a0a couple is willing to share affection, intimate relationships, words, time and things.\" And when you love, you do not count...\"<\/p>
