Untreated sleep apnea will most likely lead to sexual frustration and difficulty in your life.

Sleep and Sex can often be a barometer of your overall health. 

Most people who have sleep struggles are aware that it affects many aspects of daily life. However, did you know that it also affects your sex life as well? 

A large percentage of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed However, there is a lot of data that can help those with sleep apnea get a better night’s rest as well as improve their sex lives.

In 2002, a study was done at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology which proved the fact that male patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea experience decreased libido and sexual activity. Not only does the lack of sleep affect their libido, but it was also found that those who suffer from sleep apnea secrete lower levels of testosterone. However, men are not the only people who suffer from sleep apnea. A study performed in 2011 focused on women with sleep apnea, and found that their scores on the Female Sexual Function Index indicated that they were at a higher risk for having sexual difficulties.

You could have probably guessed by this point that lack of sleep affects your libido. In men, lack of sleep attributes to dramatically reduced levels of testosterone, as discovered by scientists at the University of Chicago. This without a doubt contributes to a decreased sex drive. Additionally, lack of sleep leads to reduced sex drive in women as well. A study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine focuses on the effects of sleep deprivation on women, and found that obtaining sufficient sleep is important to the promotion of healthy sexual desire and genital response.

Clearly, lack of sleep leads to decreased sexual desire among both genders.

We’ve all probably heard that it’s bad to use electronics before bed-the light messes up our bodies and prevents us from getting a good night’s sleep, almost to the equivalence of the way drugs affects our sleep. However, now it is recommended to turn off your electronics before bed to benefit your sex life as well. Durex has launched a new campaign based off their most recent research to urge people to shut off their electronics in order to help their romantic lives in the bedroom. Take a look: 

It’s as simple as that: just TURNING OFF your electronics can greatly benefit bedroom romance.

Our communication is greatly suffering because of technology, and it is crucial to have face to face intimate moments with your partner/spouse.

So please “Turn off to turn on.” It's also good for a sleep hygiene and healthy sleep habits.

3 Health Tips To Getting Better Sleep

At Sleep ASAP, we strive to build a community for sleep strugglers around the world to share alternative methods for getting a good night’s sleep.

Below are three suggestions we have for examining your methods of getting a good night’s rest and what you can do to improve them.

1) One size does not fit all

There is no generic solution to curing sleep deprivation. We are all very different people with a variety of backgrounds, genes, and lifestyles. Through our research, we have found that most people benefit very differently from various types of solutions. Sleep ASAP wants to encourage a community where sleep strugglers are able to share their trials, tribulations, and successes in their journey to getting a good night’s sleep.

2) Traditional healthcare has limitations

We believe that the first step to solving the solution of sleep deprivation is through a method of personalized medicine. Traditional forms of healthcare are very limited in their abilities to take into account all existing symptoms of each sleep struggler because physicians are often missing details of your personal story. This frequently leads to misdiagnoses. “Failure to recognize sleep problems not only precludes diagnosis and treatment — it also precludes the possibility of preventing their grave public health consequences” (Colten HR, & Altevogt, BM, 2006). Through personalized medicine, the patient can help work with the doctor throughout the process to assure that a knowledgeable and informed diagnosis is made.

3) Personalized agendas are the solution

The goal of the Sleep ASAP team is to assist you through your journey in finding the solution that works best for your personal sleep struggle. Our solution is to go through a personalized agenda to better understand your symptoms and provide you with a customised solution. By creating a community of likeminded people with similar philosophies, we hope to provide sleep strugglers with the knowledge of many types of alternative therapies to narcotics, and through this newfound knowledge, find an agenda that best fits your needs.

We want to hear from you:

We know how different each and every one of you are, and we want to adapt our work to best benefit your needs! Tell us your personal stories, and share with us, as well as other sleep strugglers, your journey to finding a solution to getting a good night’s sleep. Through our community, you can help each other build a personalized solution to your sleep struggles.

If you are just beginning your journey, take the time to fill out our questionnaire, which we will then analyze based upon answers of more than 210,000 other people who has been diagnosed recently, and then provide you with a detailed report concerning your sleeping disorder.

Sleep Deprived? Lets try to help each other out.

Maybe you don’t already know, maybe you are. It’s not fun, nor easy trying to manage a sleep disorder. Although medical, natural, magical or any kind of solution, it is YOU in the end lying in bed who is struggling alone. It is YOU, the one counting every moment by, and trying to get that deserved sleep. It’s your eyes are like shining torches, penetrating the darkness when you would rather be asleep. It’s you who’s actually know what works for you best, and how sleep disorder affects every aspect of your life. All this information could be a critical and even life changing for one suffers from sleep disorder.

It takes a long time to be understood by the friends and family. It takes a very long journey to be understood by doctors and finally to be diagnosed by the experts, and even then it takes ages to normalise your sleep. Yet we know it is only a matter of time, the mind’s readiness and deep understanding of “you & yourself” will better manage your sleep disorder. Yet we know, only sleep strugglers like YOU can understand you better than others. For that reason, I want your sleep related wisdom come to light. I want you to share your sleep story in general, and what has worked for you in particular. Your sleep wisdom must be said loudly. Your inputs about sleep therapies, pills, herbs and all else are worth much more for others in that position. Sharing is caring isn’t it?

Imagine your first hand sleep stories, sleeping hacks, sleep knowledge or any of that wisdom shared worth even more than “sleep on Ambien” for somebody else?! Imagine that your personal  sleep wisdom will help someone to get a better sleep….. tonight?!

One does not simply deliver that, so I need YOUR help to spread the word and that important knowledge you already possess so it reaches out to as many sleep strugglers worldwide. Whether you or a loved one suffers from sleep disorder, please let them know this new initiative to expand the knowledge and awareness to sleep issues and latest solutions.

I want you, to become a digital mouth of the sleep strugglers worldwide. I want you to tell your sleep story, victory, advocacy, methods, best practice or any other sleep related information which will change or make anybody else’s life that much easier.

Ready to share your story? Let me know then.
