A well-rested wife equals a hotter sex life. Sleep may boost a woman’s libido, suggests new research from the University of Michigan.
Female
study participants kept track of their sleep and sex
life for 2 weeks.
When the subjects logged more hours of shuteye, they reported feeling
more aroused the next day.
For the women who were in a
relationship, an extra hour of dozing increased their odds of getting
busy the next day by 14 percent.
It’s
no surprise that she’s more interested in a romp when she’s not
exhausted. But there’s more to it than that, says study author David
Kalmbach, Ph.D.
“The driving force could be biological,” Kalmbach
says. “Some prior research has shown that sleep increases sex hormones,
which can influence feelings of sexual desire.”
Rest may be
crucial for you, too: Studies have shown that men with sleep disorders
are more like to experience sexual dysfunction, Kalmbach says.
Keep
to a consistent, generous sleep schedule and encourage her to do the
same. Establish a bedtime, suggests Andrew Varga, M.D., Ph.D., a
clinical instructor at NYU Langone Medical Center. Set an alarm for a
half hour beforehand as a reminder to turn off electronics, dim the
lights, and wind down—or maybe get frisky.
