What if we told you that the secret to better, more frequent sex was in the middle of your bedroom and taking advantage of it was free, easy, and would result in lots of other healthy side effects as well?
You re probably giving us side-eye right now, but it s totally true. What s the answer? Getting more sleep.
Research bears out this more-sleep-better-sex connection. Women who slept just one additional hour at night increased their odds of having sex the next day by 14%, according to a 2015 study in the
Journal of Sexual Medicine. That may not sound like much, but getting an extra two hours, say by hitting the pillow at 11 p.m. rather than after Jimmy Fallon signs off, can double the odds.
