I recently read about a study that found that an extra hour of sleep each night increases a woman's libido considerably.
In a way, this finding seems pretty logical to me. The more sleep a woman gets, the more energy she has, and the more energy she has, the more likely she is to want to do the deed.
What's curious about the study is how only one hour more could make such a difference. I would think that 2 or 3 more hours of sleep would cause someone to be more predisposed to having sex the next day, but 1 hour?
I assume that women are just as likely to say that a little more sleep makes them more interested in practically any other activity, like cooking or going to the gym. It also depends on a woman's schedule and how busy she is. An extra hour will surely go a long way for a time-starved executive, but it won't make a difference for someone who works few hours each week, if any at all.
Something tells me that men and women the world over who complain of their partner's low sex drive would want to impress this finding on them. It's not exactly fair, though, to expect partners to change their sleeping habits in hopes of getting them to put out more. If your partner is willing to do it, then more power to you! But if he or she isn't interested, do not press the issue. No one should feel coerced into doing something he or she doesn't wish to do.
Indeed, any changes a person makes for the sake of the relationship should come from the heart.
What do you think? Is it conceivable that an extra hour of sleep would make women a lot more interested in having sex?
