According to many studies, you can have better sex if you improve your sleep, and better sleep if you improve your sex. Here\u2019s how and why.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the secret to a good night\u2019s sleep was as simple as good sex? Simply put, having sex increases your hormone output; and one particular hormone is closely linked to getting off to sleep. Sex and sleep go hand in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Better sleep = better lovemaking!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress, insomnia, sleepless nights: these are just some of the things which can disturb your sexual desire curbing your libido. Trouble getting it up? Have a better night\u2019s sleep to make sure you\u2019re standing to attention. The hormone responsible is called \u2018Cortisol\u2019. You may know this as a &#8220;stress hormone&#8221; but you may not know that it is believed to be responsible for lowering men\u2019s testosterone levels. Testosterone is a sexual hormone that plays a key role in controlling a man\u2019s libido levels; it governs desire\u2019s ups and downs. If the body doesn\u2019t get enough sleep, then it releases more cortisol. As a result, a man\u2019s sex drive and libido are at a standstill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And women have it even worse! Because we have lower testosterone levels to begin with, even a small imbalance can significantly throw us off our game. As our cortisol and testosterone levels rise, we just don\u2019t want to get under the covers &#8211; except for a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>A good night&#8217;s sleep is beneficial in other ways as well:<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex hormones and pheromones increase, boosting desirability;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a night off can increase your partners lust for you, making your sex life better the next night.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting an early night can improve your life outside the bedroom, putting you in a good mood and ready for anything.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers at the University of Florida have looked at the correlation of sleep and sex. They concluded that people with insomnia, a chronic sleep disorder, saw their sexual activity increase by 14% for each hour of sleep. Sleeping for an extra two hours a night could improve your sex life by well over a quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common case for lack of sleep can be due to your partner&#8217;s snoring. This can not only cause a sleepless night, but according to a Gleeden study of 8,000 unfaithful women, 66% of them say they have crossed the threshold of infidelity because their other half is a noisy snorer!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Can more sex help you to sleep better?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Ian Kerner, a sexuality counselor and therapist, the answer is unequivocal. &#8220;Insufficient sexuality can cause insomnia and irritability,&#8221; says the expert. The moral of the story? Have more sex to sleep more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making love releases hormones directly related to sleep: endorphins, melatonin, and dopamine are directly linked to a good night\u2019s sleep. And while you\u2019re there, prolactin and oxytocin are other hormones related to pleasure and the feeling of well-being. These are specifically released during and after orgasm&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting your legs in the air before going to sleep is clearly worth all the sleeping pills in the world &#8211; it\u2019s been scientifically proven!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gleeden.com\/en\/tips-to-avoid-getting-caught\/\">infidelity: 10 tips to avoid getting caught\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-date\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that sex and sleep are intimately linked?
