# 1 SLEEP DEPRIVATION KILLS SEX DRIVE
Yes, you heard that right. Sleep deprivation kills sex drive. Obviously there is a huge connection between sleep and sex and it goes much deeper than the fact that both are usually done in the bedroom. More often than not, a healthy sex life will lead to better sleep health and vice-versa. If sex or sleep is suffering, chances are that one can be improved by improving the other.
Here’s the thing, when the body becomes stressed because of sleep difficulties, the brain suppresses the production of sex hormones—you know the ones, they start with an E and a T—in favour of stress hormones. This shift in hormone levels affects not only the sex drive, but fertility as well. Plus, lack of sleep has been known to cause erectile dysfunction.
But of course, it may not be a biological matter. Obviously, when one is too tired, it’s very rare they’re up to getting it on. Not to mention that, being too tired for sex is the leading reason reported by individuals or couples who have lost interest in sex. And what a shame that is.
Thus, finding a way to get to sleep fast, sleep longer, and wake up more refreshed, ready to…take on the world—what’d you think I was going to say? No, you’re right.
Sleep needs to be a priority, especially if we want to have a bit more fun in the bedroom—if you know what I mean.
