The study design itself could have affected participants’ sexual and sleep behaviors. Plus, people may not behave as they normally do when participating in a study. Therefore, really understanding the relationship between sexual activity and sleep may require studies conducted over longer periods of time.

Heck, some people even get married and divorced within a two-week period. As you can imagine, sexual and sleep behaviors can vary significantly over time. Moreover, the study participants kept diaries for only a span of 14 days, which is one week less than how long March Madness lasts. So, it’s not clear how broadly applicable these results may be. And even if it did, going Dutch may not be the same as going other countries. They may or may not represent what happens with other members of the Dutch population. Do the sexual and sleep behaviors of this sample represent what happens in all other populations? Hard to say. This study did have a number of limitations.įirst of all, this was a very specific population, a specific sample of students from a specific Dutch University. While 14-day diary part of this study seemed to go against that masturbation belief, here’s the rub. After all, many people do feel that whole lotta self-love can help with sleep, as seen by the study participants’ answers to the initial set of questionaires. Now, you may moan that such observations are not consistent with your experience. And not masturbation, even when an orgasm occurred. That’s partnered sex specifically when an orgasm occurred. When the research team later analyzed the resulting data, they found only one type of sexual activity to be associated with decreased sleep latency (the time between going to bed and actually falling asleep) and increased sleep quality as mentioned earlier. In the study, the presence of an orgasm seemed to make a difference with partnered sex but not with.
