Sleep habits that affect sexual ability: 5 factors that may affect premature aging when going to bed too late

Sleep, now the health measurement standard for office workers, is not only related to health, but also affects our sexual life. According to a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, people with incorrect sleep habits also have low satisfaction with sexual activity. Here are some sleep habits and suggestions that affect the quality of sexual life.

1. Soft bed: reducing force

When sleeping, the mattress is soft, the middle part of the body sinks, the trunk forms an arc, the ligaments and intervertebral spaces around the spine are overloaded, the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine increases, and long-term back pain occurs. At the same time, the muscles of sleeping on a soft bed cannot be fully relaxed. Over time, muscle strength will be affected. In sexual intercourse, the muscle strength of the waist and back is important, especially for men. When using male up and down and lateral lying positions, men must use the strength of their waist and legs to control sexual strength. Damage to the waist can easily affect sexual behavior.

It is recommended that the mattress be soft and moderate, usually lying on the bed with appropriate body parts, and preferably with good support for the waist. In addition, the absence of factors such as noise, bed size, and bed cleanliness can also help improve the quality of sexual life.

2. Pillow height: affects erection

We often say that pillows are reassuring. Japanese sleep researchers have surveyed nearly a hundred married individuals of the same age, and found that excessive pillows can affect function. Firstly, long-term excessive pillows can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the brain, thereby reducing the function of the pituitary gland to secrete sex hormones and further affecting sexual desire. Secondly, when the pillow is too high, it is easy to compress the heart and affect the blood circulation. However, a long-term insufficient blood supply may lead to male Erectile dysfunction. Again, a high pillow will affect the health of the cervical spine, and in serious cases, it will affect the nerve conduction of Sexual arousal, thereby reducing sexual sensitivity and easily causing sexual apathy. Finally, a high pillow can easily block the ducts, worsen snoring, lead to hypoxia in the body, affect the sleep quality of both parties, and also have adverse effects on sexual function.

It is recommended to choose a suitable pillow based on one's height and body shape. It is best to keep the head and torso level when lying on the back. That is to say, when lying on the back, the pillow is high, and when lying on the side, the pillow is high. The length of the pillow is wider than the shoulder, and a pillow that is too small can also affect sleep quality. In terms of material, soft cotton pillows must be selected. After the pillow rises, buckwheat pillows and other items contract and stretch.
