A lot is said and written about the importance of a good
night sleep on a regular basis for all of us. Millions of people around the
world suffer from insomnia and chronic lack of sleep, and they complain a lot
about feeling always tired and exhausted, about inability to focus and get
concentrated on their work, about being inefficient and more prone to many
common health problems. Studies have shown that a chronic lack of sleep is
linked to many negative processes in our body, namely slowed down metabolism
and detoxification, common digestive problems like indigestion, flatulence,
constipation, etc., linked to higher risks of gaining weight and developing
cardiovascular problems which sometimes can turn into very serious diseases and
health conditions. The effects of chronic sleep disorders on our daily life
certainly go beyond only health condition and may affect our professional,
social, and even personal life.
Chronic lack of sleep
According to the latest findings of the scientists, a
chronic lack of sleep cause by various factors (too much work, excessive
stresses, certain health conditions, and so on) is very often linked to serious
problems in sexual life, like decreased libido and a lack of desire. A group of
American specialists led by Dr. Jennifer Peszka, Associate Professor of
Psychology and Julia Mobley Odyssey Professor, the University of Southern
Mississippi, decided to look closer at the issues related to workaholics and
the effects of working too much on our sleep. For the study, they invited a
group of 60 students studying in the University of Southern Mississippi, who
were asked to fill up detailed questionnaires with plenty of questions about
daily life and habits of the participants, about their common sleep patterns
and sexual experience of the participants related to enough sleep or a chronic
lack of sleep.

After summarizing and analyzing the collected information,
the scientists came to the following conclusions. If a young couple reported
having a good night sleep, both of the partners stated their good interest in
sexual life. Both men and women reported that their sexual life after having a
good sleep was very good, however, still most of men reported about believing
that sexual interest that women demonstrated was quite low. At the same time,
after a rough night and especially those who suffer from a chronic lack of
sleep, some changes in the estimations of both men and women took place. Women
did not change the estimations as to their sexual interest and sexual interest
of their partners, but at the same time men reported that after improper sleep
their women demonstrated much higher interest in sexual life comparing to the
one they demonstrate after having a good night sleep.
Sleep deprivation
“Sleep deprivation could have unexpected effects on
perceptual experiences that could lead people to engage in sexual decisions
that they might otherwise not when they are well-rested,” the study leader
underlined. The scientists believe that there is a probability of the fact that
the findings can be applied not only to our sexual interest, but to some other
spheres of our life as well. In other words, those people who suffer from a
chronic lack of sleep tend to make decisions and do things that they would
never even think about doing if they would have a proper sleep. American
researchers say that this can be one more reason to develop healthy sleeping
habits and make sure that we have a good sleep on a regular basis. Keep in mind
that having a proper sleep every night should be considered one of the most
effective tool to reduce the risks of many health problems and improve our
life.
