The Best Mattress Type For Every Sex Position

Though it’s more or less possible to have sex anywhere at any time, sometimes nothing feels better than a before-bed romp as you head off to snoozeville. That’s because studies have shown that solo or partnered sex can actually lead to a better, deeper sleep — especially if it leads to orgasm. According to Zeeshan Afzal, MD, chief medical officer at Welzo, “In a recent study, orgasmic frequency was a significant predictor of several sleep parameters, including increased total sleep time, decreased sleep latency, and greater sleep efficiency.” The study even went as far as to conclude that “orgasmic frequency may be a useful adjunctive treatment for sleep disorders.” So, if you’ve been having a hard time drifting off to dreamville, finding orgasm by yourself or with a partner is a scientifically proven solution. Incredible.
