Sleep is a very normal thing for a person, on average, one-third of the time in a person’s life to spend in sleep, sleep is very important to a person’s body, but few people know how to sleep more healthy. Here is an introduction to what kind of sleep affects libido. Poor sleep affects sexuality Soft bed Sleeping on a soft mattress will cause the middle part of the body to sink, the torso constitutes an arc, so that the ligaments around the spine and the intervertebral load is too heavy to increase the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, which in the long run will cause low back pain. At the same time, sleeping in a soft bed muscles can not get fully relaxed, over time, will affect the strength of the muscles during sex. Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital Professor of Sexual Medicine Ma Xiaonian pointed out that sex, waist and back muscle strength is very important, especially for men, the use of male on female and side position posture, men have to rely on the waist, leg strength to help control the intensity of sex. Once the waist is damaged, it is easy to affect the sex action. Mattress soft and hard to moderate, generally lying in bed can make all parts of the body feel proper, waist can get good support for appropriate. In addition, there is no noise, the bed is larger, bedding clean and other factors, also help to improve the quality of sex life. High pillow We often say “high pillow without worry”, but the Japanese sleep researchers through the nearly one hundred married people of different ages survey found that the pillow is too high, will affect sexual function. First of all, a high pillow for a long period of time will easily lead to poor blood circulation in the brain, making the pituitary gland’s function of secreting sex hormones decrease, which may further affect the libido. Secondly, when the pillow is too high, it is easy for the heart to be compressed, affecting blood circulation, and the 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, which in turn reduces sexual sensitivity, and is prone to sexual frigidity. Finally, high pillows are easy to make the airway is not smooth, aggravate snoring, leading to lack of oxygen in the body, affecting the quality of sleep on both sides, and also have a negative impact on sexual function. According to their height and body type to choose the height of the appropriate pillow. Shi Ming, a member of the Professional Committee on Sleep Disorders of the Chinese Sleep Research Society, said that it is appropriate to keep the head and torso level when lying on the back, i.e., the pillow is one fist high when lying on the back, and one and a half fists high when lying on the side. The length of the pillow should be wider than the shoulder, and a pillow that is too small will also affect the quality of sleep. Material, be sure to choose a softer cotton pillow, pillow to go after the contraction of elasticity, such as buckwheat pillow. Sleeping on your stomach In all sleep positions, sleeping on your stomach is considered to be the most unfavorable to health. Shi Ming pointed out that men sleep on their stomachs in bed, will oppress the scrotum, stimulate the penis, easy to cause frequent spermatorrhea, affecting normal work and life, but also make the scrotum temperature rise, the sperm growth is not favorable. Women sleeping on their stomachs in bed is likely to lead to breast deformity. Resting on your back at the desk will compress the carotid artery, causing sympathetic nerve dysfunction, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, headache, dizziness and other symptoms, which in turn affects sexual desire. U.S. sex expert Catherine Messer believes that the sleep position to comfortable and natural is most appropriate, husband and wife after sex, the husband can be from behind the wife ring around her to sleep, so that the two sides of the body full contact, and does not oppression of the heart, is conducive to promoting the relationship between husband and wife and improve the quality of sleep. If both sides are more tired, back to back side sleep is also a good choice. Sleeping late With the diversification of life, “night owls” are more and more. Previously, a survey conducted by Sohu.com showed that more than 80% of the people have the habit of sleeping late, nearly 70% of the people therefore have health problems. Staying up late has many health hazards, which can easily lead to decreased resistance, memory loss, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal problems, and so on. The University of Chicago sociology professor Laumann pointed out from the perspective of gender relations, stay up late so that many young people become “premature sexual aging”, people in their twenties and thirties, the sexual ability can not catch up with the fifty or sixty years of age of middle-aged and older people. For men, sleeping too late will lead to no erection in the morning, the lack of passion during sex, always listless, sex lasting low. For women, staying up late will make the vagina lack of lubrication, sex becomes slow, skin, body deterioration, reduce sexual confidence. To regular sleep time, try to go to sleep before 11 o’clock, try not to play the phone, watch TV, etc. before going to bed. Some sex experts recommend sleeping naked, that the human body is more relaxed, but also conducive to enhance the body’s immune system, can maximize the elimination of fatigue. With sleep to maintain vigorous sexual ability, the best state is to maintain 7 to 8 hours of sleep, late sleepers should also ensure that the whole day sleep time to 6 hours. Wake up late People know that not enough sleep will hurt your body, and sleeping too long will also reduce your sex drive. In ancient times, there was a saying that “lying down for a long time hurts the qi”. Lying down for a long time to rest or sleep, do not carry out physical activities, prone to symptoms of qi deficiency, so that the body’s blood circulation has lost its original rules, slow heartbeat, slow blood flow, the more you sleep the lazier you get, which may also lead to sexual dysfunction, but also mental depression, tiredness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, reduced libido, and even cause sexual frigidity. Don’t make up sleep for a long time, if you are not feeling well because of long sleep, you can promote blood circulation through appropriate physical exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging and so on, to help restore vitality. In addition, long sleep should not be immediately after sex, it is best to drink some water, eat something. Sleeping position has a big impact on a man’s sexual ability In the past, we seldom deliberately pay attention to their own sleeping position is how? Some people lie on their backs, some people lie on their stomachs, some people lie on their sides, and some people lie both on their backs and stomachs and on their sides, and some people say that different sleeping positions have different effects on the male reproductive system? Does how you sleep really have an effect on your sexual function? The answer is yes. For example, the prone position of sleep, not only easy to compress the internal organs, resulting in poor breathing, but also has a certain impact on the reproductive system. Especially for those who are accustomed to sleeping on their stomachs for a long time for men, prone will oppress the scrotum, is not conducive to the scrotum heat dissipation, the sperm production has a negative impact, and will also stimulate the penis, affecting the blood flow, prone to frequent spermatorrhea, and so on. Frequent spermatorrhea will bring dizziness, mental fatigue and other symptoms, affecting life and work. In addition, the scrotum can only maintain a constant temperature to bring the most favorable environment for sperm production. However, lying prone makes the heat dissipation untimely and raises the temperature of the scrotum, which has a certain impact on sperm production, especially for men who are not yet married. If lying prone is not an option, what about lying on your side? For example, lying on the right side of the bed will not compress the heart and scrotum, which should be a good sleeping position. However, side-lying can also lead to an unforeseen situation, that is, testicular torsion. Common testicular torsion is after intense exercise, but there are also a small number of side-lying sleep, when men sleep on their side, testicles and penis are squeezed between the legs, the pressure on the reproductive organs is greater than when standing, some people are not too honest when they sleep, always moving around, legs also twisted, accidents are very easy to happen. It is recommended that men take the supine position or the right side of the sleeping position So, what kind of sleeping position is the best? The best sleeping position is to lie on your back, lie on your back to eliminate the above mentioned disadvantages, but also to give the scrotum and penis sufficient space to move. A lot of male friends like to sleep on their stomachs, this prone position of the sleep mode is very harmful to young people. Sleeping on your back for a long period of time will compress the scrotum and stimulate the penis, which will easily lead to frequent spermatorrhea. Frequent spermatorrhea will lead to dizziness, back pain, fatigue and weakness, affecting normal work and life. In addition, the scrotum is a man’s “small refrigerator”, it needs to maintain a constant temperature, which is conducive to sperm production. Sleeping on your back will make the scrotum temperature rise, and not easy to dissipate heat in a timely manner, so the growth of spermatozoa also have a certain impact. It is recommended that men take the supine position or the right side of the position to sleep, so that neither oppression of the seminal vesicles, nor oppression of the heart (the left side of the position will oppress the heart), the best for the body.
