Pre-Bedtime Sexual Activity Enhances Sleep Quality
Originally Published 7 months ago — by PsyPost
A pilot study found that sexual activity, including solo masturbation and partnered sex, improves objective sleep quality by reducing wakefulness and increasing sleep efficiency, with hormonal changes potentially explaining these benefits. The study used sleep monitoring devices on couples over multiple nights, revealing that sexual activity enhances sleep objectively, though subjective sleep reports did not reflect these improvements.
