Sex before bed could be the key to a good night’s sleep.
A study showed that people who got jiggy at night time were more likely to snooze soundly without interruption.
And those who achieved orgasm during their steamy sessions were likely to get an even better rest.
Dr Michele Lastella, a sleep researcher at Central Queensland University, carried out the research.
She collected data from 460 people who were aged between 18 and 70-years-old. The survey found that two thirds of the participants slept better after romping.
It’s believed that this is because a chemical called oxytocin is released during sex.
Dr Lastella explained: “The project is based on some preliminary research evidence that, after humans have sex and achieve orgasm, we have a massive release of a hormone called oxytocin.
“This hormone among many other feel-good hormones has been said to act as a sedative to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.”
This isn’t the only reason why you should make time to be intimate.
