Because of a lack of good quality sleep, sleep deprivation has become a leading public health crisis. Constant reliance on devices, such as smartphones and laptops, stress from increased workload, and comparison to others on social media cause anxiety and depression. Even though the amount of time we need to sleep differs among individuals, it is important to sleep until we?re completely rested. Most healthy adults require seven to nine hours of sleep. Sexual dysfunction generally results from anxiety and stress. Anxiety, stress, and depression can lead to insomnia and sleep deprivation, altering the levels of hormones in our body. When we experience stress, our body releases cortisol and adrenaline and suppresses the production of estrogen and testosterone, both of which are important sex related hormones. Good sleep supports good sex.
