Why better sleep means a better sex life

Want a healthier love life? Get better sleep, says sleep scientist Matt Walker. In this episode, he explains how getting more quality shut-eye can boost fertility and vitality -- plus how sex can even improve your sleep.

Quality sleep is a foundation for intimacy, harmony, and vitality in relationships. Even one week of just five hours nightly can lower a man's testosterone to that of someone a decade older. For women, an extra hour of sleep increases the likelihood of physical intimacy by 14 percent. Sex before sleep can also boost sleep quality, creating a beneficial cycle between rest and romance.
