Does Sex Improve Sleep?

Sex and sleep can be both generative and regenerative. They often need each other, and work well together.
And getting them to work together does not involve that much thought—just the right kind of pleasurable effort.

Can Sleep Improve Sex?

By properly regenerating your body, sleep can improve most things about you - your appearance, your skin, your memory, your ability to concentrate, learning, your immune system, cardiovascular health...
Just add sex to the list. Recognize healthy sleep, as part of reviving rest, is part of a healthy sexual life.
Recent studies have shown that with females, just as in males, sleep apnea really kills sexual interest and enjoyment. But poor sleep does that to pretty much everybody.
When your body does not regenerate properly, something has to give.
And sleep has some entertaining secrets:Potential Solutions

1. Try a hot bath before you sleep.

Deep sleep is an important part of sleep growth of brain and body, and can be increased by a hot bath right before bedtime - especially if you sweat and activate the presumed temperature "sleep gate." The increased growth hormone production during deep sleep may also help you obtain both greater restfulness and a more desirable shape - without paying tens of thousands to anti- aging physicians wielding GH topped syringes.

2. Consider REM sex.

When does male sex hormone peak? During REM—complex dream sleep. What does sleep apnea and other sleep denying illnesses do to
testosterone production? Knock it severely down.
And during REM men normally have a hard on - even men who find that difficult during the day. Even in the age of viagra, cialis, and levitra, the gold standard for measuring male potency is penile buckling pressure during REM.
So how do you use REM sex? Generally the longest REM period people have is the hour before they wake.
So if your partner agrees—and make sure they agree well before—wake him or her a little earlier than usual. A rather dreamy form of sex can ensue which can break the often gloomy mood attendant on waking.

2. Can You Have Sex While Asleep?

Yes. One sleep lab in Canada codified that 8% of its clients experienced "sexsomnia"—sexual experiences while physically asleep.
It's not something I recommend.
Generally, sexsomnias occur when people are sleeping poorly, are drinking or drugging, and are keeping very strange sleep times. Often they don't remember what they did. One Nigerian couple  "Says" they conceived when the husband was asleep, his wife told him what sex was like the next day.
Though much of the population thinks of sleep and wakefulness as two completely separate, different entities, the truth is we flux in and out of different states of consciousness throughout the 24 hour day. Sleep is not a light switch. Sexsomnia is just another reminder than people often are both partially awake and asleep - as when we have microsleeps at the wheel while driving.

MY FACT ABOUT BIAFRA.

This is a part some people will not like to hear, but we will say it here for historical purposes. When the great Biafran leader, Col. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was granted a state pardon by President Shehu Shagari in 1982, the Ikemba soon contested for Senate under the then National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but did his people vote for him? Lest we also forget, he contested for the presidency, how many votes did he got even in Anambra? Let us bring in Chief Alex Ekweme. We recall, despite being founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),he contested for the party nomination for president in 2002. We all remember how the South-East governors then did all they could to outdo themselves to be seen to be more loyal to President Olusegun Obasanjo than even his own ministers. There was nothing wrong in all these for these people as long as it all guarantees fat bank accounts and unmerited rewards. No one talks about Biafra when contract figures are inflated; Biafra makes no sense ...

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...
