New Study Shows Sex and Orgasm Help You Sleep

A new study, done in May 2023 by U.S. researchers from Atrium Health and North Dakota Center for Sleep, indicates that sex and orgasm close to bedtime increases most people’s sleep quality. The researchers found, “75% of respondents reported that they slept better after sex/orgasm close to bedtime and the majority reported a moderate improvement in sleep on those nights.” The conventional wisdom that sex and masturbation can help you to fall asleep and sleep soundly is now officially backed up by research.

An All-Natural Sleep-Improving Solution

In fact, sex and orgasm were about as effective as sleeping pills. “In comparison to sex/orgasm, the majority of those surveyed felt that medication had similar or worse effect on their sleep (64%).” The study also found that sex and orgasm improved sleep in both males and females. There are many biohackers who do not want to take sleep medication, and sex and orgasm are an all-natural solution for improving sleep.

Less Stress, Better Sleep

An important point to add comes from a 2016 study by the American Sociological Association. It shows that sex reduces your cortisol levels, which means decreased stress. Those who struggle with stress-related sleep problems could benefit from the cortisol decrease that sex and orgasm provide.
