How Getting Busy Between the Sheets Can Lead to the Best Sleep of Your Life–Do You Know This Sexy “Secret”?
Are you constantly tired, but find it hard to sleep? Well, you’re not alone.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 out of 3 people are sleep deprived or suffer from some type of sleep disorder preventing them from getting the rest they need.
We live in a much more high-pressure, stressful world than our parents did, which makes falling asleep a constant struggle for many.
Add all of the technology we deal with on a daily basis–from smartphones and tablets to TVs and video games–and you’ve got a wealth of distractions preventing you from really relaxing.
Yeah, sleeping pills are a common prescription these days, but they can leave you feeling groggy, overly tired, or anxious.
It turns out, you may actually be able to ditch those pills and turn to a much more proven–and fun–method to help you sleep:
Sex!
That’s right. The correlation between sex and sleep is strong, and I’m here to explain how getting it on before going to bed may be your new secret weapon to an awesome night’s sleep.
The Surprising Link Between Sex & Sleep…
A recent study of 460 adults found that 64% of people slept better:
a) When they had sex before sleep, and…
b) An orgasm was involved. (This is the important part.)
After having an orgasm, your body releases a large amount of oxytocin. Oxytocin is the hormone that helps us bond, often leading to cuddling after sex.
When this hormone is released, it actually lowers the levels of cortisol (a hormone produced by stress) in your body, helping you relax and unwind, completely naturally.
In addition, orgasms produce different benefits for men and women.
For men, there’s a hormone called prolactin that is released after an orgasm, which has been found to cause sleepiness.
For women, estrogen levels increase. This leads to enhanced REM sleep, which means women often sleep more deeply after having sex.
The answer you may have been searching for all along is to get more action between the sheets so you can pass out quickly, right after. 🙂
“But I’m Too Tired To Have Sex Before Bed”…?
Ah, the classic catch-22 situation.
Are you not having sex because you’re tired…
…or are you tired because you’re not having sex?
The answer, most likely, is both.
I get it. After a long day, sometimes all you want to do is pass out and not have to move any more than absolutely possible.
Even if you love sex, it can feel like a chore when you’re tired.
But the good news is, it doesn’t have to.
Here are a few ways you can get yourself in the mood so you can get the best sleep (and sex) of your life.
1) Relax Together
Sure, you binge watch Stranger Things together, but do you actually relax with your woman?
An hour before you usually go to bed, head into the bedroom, dim the lights, and get into pajamas (or nothing at all).
The distractions that hold us hostage in the evening can make it harder to sleep later on, so lessening their impact on your nighttime routine is key.
Create a “no electronics” rule one hour before bed and you’ll find that without TV, smartphones, and laptops to distract you, you’ll be much more into the idea of a quick romp before bed.
2) Plan A Date
This may not sound romantic or impulse, but sometimes scheduling sex can be the best way to ensure it happens.
If you’re both busy, chances are it’s easy to push sex off the table and simply dive into one of your other commitments instead.
But when you plan on having sex at 10 P.M., for example, it becomes more of a priority and is easier to stick to.
Even if you’re tired, just like your other priorities, you’ll find a way to get the task accomplished.
Of course, a few great sessions later, you may find that this scheduled appointment is the highlight of your night.
3) Get Intimate
While most of the sleep-inducing benefits sex offers come after orgasm, you don’t have to feel guilty if you really are just too tired.
Instead, opt for cuddling with your girlfriend, so that you both have the opportunity to unwind and decompress together.
Not only will this help you fall asleep simply because you’ll be more relaxed, but it will also leave you feeling happier and more connected to your partner.
Plus, we all know how quickly a cuddling session can turn into foreplay. 😉
One type of foreplay, in particular, is an especially great lead-in to sex:
Fingering.
And here’s a great technique to help turn that fingering foreplay into something more intense:
4) Try This “Multi-Orgasmic” Fingering Technique
If you’ve had a long day, and aren’t in the mood for a “marathon” sex session… then I highly recommend you give this fingering technique a try.
It’s designed for maximum stimulation, in minimal time… and because it was developed by a Tantric Master, it goes far beyond the basic *come hither* technique you’ll see almost everywhere else.
Plus, it can often give her multiple orgasms… which will make her want to return the favor once you’re finished. 😉 (Trust me, I’m a girl, I know!)
