Quality sleep: bedtime sex can help

The quality of your sleep is essential for you to wake up the next day refreshed and willing to do all your daily tasks.

The problem is that not all people are able to maintain a good night’s sleep due to problems such as stress , which in addition to impairing rest, can cause various diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular problems.

But speaking of sleep, several studies have looked at the relationship between sleep and sexual intercourse to see how one can influence the other.

The answer to that question came soon after. Sleep and sex depend on each other to work well in the person’s life.

Does sex help you sleep?

According to experts, there is still no concrete evidence that sex makes you sleepy.

But, the affective and sensual contact during the relationship can cause the brain to release some substances, which help to have a better quality of sleep during the night.

This is because, when there is this affective contact with the other person, these substances produced by the brain are capable of causing a pleasant sensation of well-being and relaxation.

Therefore, it is possible that having sex before bed has the potential to improve your quality of sleep.

In addition, physical and emotional approach is also good for mental health . In other words, it is not just sex that has an influence on a good night’s sleep.

Sleep in day helps sexual performance?

Now let’s get to the other side of the question. After all, how can sleep affect sex?

In a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information , researchers analyzed for a week a group of young people who were sleeping only for 5 hours a day (remembering that the recommended time is between 7 and 9 am).

As a result, young people have had their testosterone (male sex hormone) levels reduced by between 10% and 15% in the body.

With this drop in the levels of the hormone, which plays a fundamental role in the production of sperm, there is a decrease in sexual activity and libido (sexual desire).

Now that it has become clearer, have you seen how one depends on the other?

But, remember, the important thing is to maintain a balance between the two things and not forget that different conditions can affect sleep and sexual desire.


When we talk about sleeping well, we mean that you need to have a good quality of sleep and not sleep for several hours.

In addition, sex and sleep are linked. So, to have such a dreamed “good night” you need to be okay with both questions.
