Sexual activity, including masturbation and intimate touch, has been found to have a positive impact on sleep quality. Poor sleep has been related to sexual difficulties, but case studies suggest that chronic insomnia can increase sexual desire and arousal. Lack of sleep can negatively affect libido, sexual performance, and emotional well-being. Studies have shown that 75% of people report better sleep after engaging in sexual activity close to bedtime, with majority reporting moderate improvements. Sexual activity has been found to improve subjective sleep latency and quality, independent of whether orgasm was achieved. Distress and dysfunction in sleep and sex are commonly related to anxiety, depression, and stress. The body responds to orgasm by releasing hormones that can help promote better-quality sleep. Studies have also shown that engaging in sexual activity with a partner or solo can help improve sleep quality for those experiencing sleep difficulties.
