Experts At Identifying The Most Common Sexual Problems Triggered By Fatigue

YOGYAKARTA – In contrast to the conditions 25 years ago, the causes of sexual problems in couples are lack of communication and performance anxiety when making love. The findings were reported by 100 professional sex therapists who explored the reasons for reduced sex drive and sexual capacity. Recently, Michael Perelman, Ph.D., has highlighted that fatigue caused by a number of conditions causes sexual distress in the United States.

For nearly 100 million Americans, fatigue results from a lack of sleep. Reported by Psychology Today, Monday, July 4, those who work more than 40 hours a week tend to get less sleep every night. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 30 percent of American adults sleep six hours or less per day. Night shift workers, especially those working in warehouses, transportation, and health care, are at the most risk of not getting enough sleep.

A study published in July 2018, reports that men experience poorer erectile function with longer working hours and shifts. In addition, sleep deprivation is also experienced by people with more than one job, widows, divorced, recently separated couples, single mothers, and new mothers.

Sleep needs vary by age group and between individuals. The impact of sleep deprivation is related to sex and significant health risks, such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, weak immunity, and daytime fatigue.

A number of studies related to sexual dysfunction, always associated with sleep disturbances as the cause. Including patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OBSA) which causes fatigue. In postmenopausal women with OBSA are very at risk in the sexual aspect and in OBSA men often experience erectile dysfunction.

Researchers studying the impact of sleep on women's sexuality, concluded that adding an hour of sleep can increase sex drive by up to 14 percent. Women who took part in the study also reported fewer problems with sexual response.

Perelman, clinical psychiatrist and professor at Reproductive Medicine & Urology Weill Cornell Medicine New York, to improve the quality of life in general and sex life in particular, one needs to get the right solution. Sometimes you just need to reduce fatigue to improve your sex life, says Perelman.

Doing physical activity with light exercise every day is recommended by Perelman. In addition, set the ideal temperature when sleeping. Meditation and yoga can help if you're still having trouble getting a good night's sleep. Also, follow your circadian rhythm by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Plus, orgasms can also help get a good night's sleep, especially in men and women, suggests Perelman.
