Hugo, 24, who will become Love Island's first physically disabled contestant, has joked about being "the inventor" of the half-night stand.
He revealed in an interview posted to Love Island's official Instagram page: "I am in the inventor of something I like to call half-night stand.
"I very much like my own bed and waking up by myself in the morning so I'd either have to do a runner, or I'd have to boot them out."
The PE teacher added it was vital so he could "enjoy the rest of his evening" and "get his beauty sleep in" before waking up for school.

Admitting it was "terrible", Hugo added that despite the "chaos" of his half-night stands, he was "definitely ready to settle" into a relationship.
However, not before the lucky girl has got passed his mum, who "knows everything" about his dating history, with a seal of approval.
Hugo went on: "When I meet a girl I definitely have to think about whether my mother would be very accepting of her, so it crosses my mind whether she will get the seal of approval.
Dubbing himself a "cool teacher", he insisted he wouldn't be asking any potential matches to "call him Mr Hammond" in the villa.

"I don't think I could do it without laughing so I'm definitely not going to be doing that anytime in the near future," he joked.
"It's definitely going to be a Mr Hammond summer - no bad intention, top marks - that's the dream."

In a video obtained by the , Hugo, 24, who will become Love Island's first physically disabled contestant, bragged to his pals.
"I'm a shagger, a fine shagger, I'm a shagger my friends," he can be heard shouting while enjoying himself at a university party.
Hugo, who was born with a club foot, was studying at Oxford Brookes when the video was taken by pals, who said he partied more than studying.

The mystery pal revealed to the publication: "Hugo really thought he was the bee's knees and aimed to make a name for himself at university.
"He's bragged about his female conquests but they certainly weren't the ones bragging afterwards. Hugo was a divisive figure to say the least."
The friend concluded that while some people were fond of him, he was known as a "posh k***head" during his studies by others.
At university, Hugo met his ex-girlfriend Millie Simmons and the pair are believed to have dated for two-and-a-half-years before splitting.

While it was reported it happened months ago, the mystery pal said it actually happened shortly before Love Island began.
Seeing the ITV show as a "way of getting famous", the friend said Hugo even "asked Millie to run his social media" while he was in the villa, to which she "flatly turned down".
Hugo, who teaches PE to secondary school children, was born with a short Achilles tendon and needed surgeries to fix his club foot.
