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.

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples. Ingredients needed for a Nutritious Ebiripo Cocoyam Soya beans Ground fresh P...

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

Polygamy is never a sin in the Bible

Traditionally and religious wise, there is nothing wrong with polygamy. The love for material things is the cause of the jealousy plotted by the West to curtail African growth.  If you read the Bible very well, you will see that polygamy is one of the mechanisms God designed to make sure that every lady/ woman that wants to get married does so. I advise you to do your own independent research on it and you will concur with me. That was the path I took. It will not surprise you that the major actors of the Bible are polygamous. Few of them are Moses, Gideon, Ezra, Abraham, Jacob, Caleb, Solomon, Simeon, Zedekiah, Elkanah, Abijah, Jehoram and Manasseh. It is recorded in the Bible that God had a wonderful relationship with these people, disciplining them for various transgressions but not for marrying more than one wife. When people say polygamy is a sin, I often ask, how, from where in the Bible? The answer they will give are usually tenuous, lack substance and a mismatch of Bible...

DSP Alamieyesiegha .

Alamieyeseigha was arrested at Heathrow Airport in September 2005 by the London Metropolitan Police on charges of money laundering in September 2005. About £1m cash was allegedly found in his London home. Another £1.8m ($3.2m) was found in his bank accounts. Rather than wait and clear his name at the trial, Alamieyeseigha escaped from London in December 2005 in a very dramatic manner. Some report had it that he disguised himself as a woman in his desperate bid to return to Nigeria. But back home, while serving him an unexpected notice of impeachment, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly accused him of offences including: *Maintaining foreign bank accounts while in office in the following banks: Barclays Bank Plc, London; National Westminster Bank, London; Royal Bank of Scotland; and Commerz Bank, London. *Corrupt enrichment of his relatives and cronies. *Criminal diversion and misappropriation of public funds to facilitate acquisition of shares in Bond Bank PLc by private p...
