Can an orgasm help you with jetlag, or can it make it worse?

This is a question thousands of people already had while rolling in bed, completely and utterly sleep deprived. 

To answer this question we must first think about what makes you sleep and what happens to your body when experiencing orgasm. 

Sleeping and love hormones 

Are you suffering jet lag at the moment? Well, you’re not that unlucky because we’ve got something you’ll love. 

You’ll probably recognize melatonin as one of the chemicals released in the brain that helps you to fall asleep. Dr Avidan, who directs the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center explains: “Our body clock is driven by exposure to light and dark, and traveling across time zones obviously disrupts the rhythms that we’re used to.”

This suggests that, with no sunset to signal the brain and body that it’s time to shut off, any traveller with jet lag needs something different and possibly more adventurous as a cure.

Darkness isn’t the only thing that brings on the release of melatonin. Recent studies have shown that melatonin is often released in parallel with the release of ocytocine during orgasm.

In addition, Scienceline suggests that stress levels are lowered by oxytocin- the touch chemical, so an orgasme will leave you feeling relaxed and possibly ready for sleep. It will of course also benefit you in other ways.

Can all orgasms help with jetlags?

By releasing Oxycitin during your orgasm, your brain release melatonin, which is the sleeping hormone! – Yes!

However, what if my body feels more excited afterward? 

If some of us feel sleepy after, some might feel energized, and this is highly linked to the type of orgasms you’ll have. If you wanna sleep, don’t go for a quickie!

What you want is a slow, smooth loving process. Give real love to yourself!

Start with some gentle touches and caresses; take your time to explore your body instead of going straight to your intimates. Here you want a slow and relaxing orgasm.

Try to use your hands first before using your vibrator.
