Many people who spend the night at someone’s home think that it is the hosts who decide when to go to bed. Nothing could be further from the truth! Recently, this topic was discussed on Instagram by Aleksandra Pakuła, who runs a profile where she teaches others the rules of etiquette and feminine elegance.
How to behave when sleeping with someone? Remember this when it gets late
– When you spend the night in someone’s house, remember that you, the guest, go to sleep first. Imagine a situation where you are sitting at the table, eating dinner, having a feast. You’re the first to say that you’re tired and it’s time to sleep. You don’t wait until the host is exhausted. Then the host has a chance to show you a place to sleep, provide bedding and so on – explains Aleksandra Pakuła in a video she published on her Instagram profile. “You have to know when to leave the stage or when to go to sleep. When you spend the night in someone’s house, know moderation. Let the host sleep, remembering that he is the first to get up,” she added in the description.
Savoir-vivre of overnight guests
There were many comments under the post published by Aleksandra Pakuła, and although, according to the expert, in this situation there is only one option consistent with the principles of savoir-vivre, everyone has their own opinion on this matter. Some people believe that this rule should be obvious to everyone, while others believe that they have no problem telling their friends about their tiredness, even as guests. There are also those who, due to their comfort, simply choose to stay in a hotel.
I would like this rule to be obvious. More than once, when there were more guests, I slept for 3-4 hours because the last ones went to bed in the morning and the first ones got up at eight.
Maybe I’m being ‘rude’, but when I had such situations, I just said ‘I’m going to sleep, there are pillows there, here’s this, here’s that’ and I went away, but for me it’s ok that I go when I need it, and the people I surround myself with tend to understand it.
That’s why, even when I go to visit family, I prefer to sleep in a hotel. I can go to bed whenever I want, get up whenever I want. Breakfasts in hotels are usually served at a certain time, so I don’t have to wait for the host to make me breakfast. Many people don’t understand this and often ask me how come you go to visit your family and sleep in a hotel? And yes, because I value my comfort and respect other people
