What – you may ask – is the connection between sex and snoring? (Other than one often follows the other?)<\/p>\n
Plenty – according to Janet Myers, a researcher at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. And the news – surprise – is not good for snorers.<\/p>\n
Myers recently conducted a study in which 29 men and 3 women with sleep apnea – a sleep disorder characterized by loud snoring and suboptimal oxygen levels during sleep – rated their sexual performance. After treating the group with Nasal CPAP – a mask worn during sleep that eliminates snoring and which ensures full oxygenation – she re-tested the group. The group reported improvement in two important categories – increased sexual drive and increased ability to orgasm.<\/p>\n
It’s not rocket science. After all, everything works better when we’ve had a good night’s sleep. But if your bed-partner snores, and if your love life seems to have passed you by recently, consider the evidence. There may be a connection.<\/p>\n
If you need one more reason to see a doctor who is a specialist in sleep disorders<\/a><\/span>, perhaps this study will encourage you. After all, you’ve got more to gain than just a quiet night’s sleep!<\/p>\n Snoring: It’s no joke!<\/p>\n
