A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2023 annual meeting found three out of four adults reported sleeping better after sex, and the majority felt that a sleeping pill had a similar or worse effect on their sleep.
Results show that 75% of survey respondents reported that they slept better after having sex close to bedtime, and the majority reported experiencing a moderate improvement in their sleep on those nights. Sixty-four percent of respondents also felt that sleeping pills had a similar or worse effect on their sleep compared to sex.
"Little scientific data exists around the impact of sex and orgasm on sleep quality," said lead author Dr. Douglas Kirsch, medical director of sleep medicine at Atrium Health in Charlotte, North Carolina. "While this data is quite preliminary, it was interesting how often sex was used to aid in sleep."
The study involved 53 adults who completed an eight-question online survey that was shared on social media. Eighty-nine percent of respondents were between the ages of 25 and 49 years, and 53% were female.
According to Kirsch and co-author Dr. Seema Khosla, medical director of the North Dakota Center for Sleep in Fargo, films and books have commonly suggested that people fall asleep faster after sexual activity. However, little research has explored this association, and additional questions need to be answered.
Kirsch stated that he is curious to know if the impact of sex on sleep is primarily a physiological process related to orgasm. If not, then he wonders if similar results could be derived after meaningful connection between partners without sex.
"This preliminary data starts a conversation about a mostly unexplored area around sex and insomnia," said Khosla.

Hear, hear! Now convince the wives of this and we’ll have a consensus.
40 out of 53 is 75%; 53% female is 28 female 25 guys—
Which I would guess means about 25 of the guys and at least 15 of the 28 gals.
I wouldn’t have guessed that based on my own experience, but perhaps if I’d been married twice the conclusion would be verified by experience.

Stop the presses!! Has the Nobel Prize committee made their selection yet?!?

Well, duh.
Often, one doesn’t have a choice between the two.

Well, if one doesn’t have a spouse, then there’s no such choice.
Also, without being too graphic, sometimes, actions of sex can lead to her wanting to chat and bring up issues and leads to not going to sleep.
How much “research” did it take for them to reach this well known conclusion?

I resemble that remark.
Two questions:
1. Where can I get the prescription filled?
2. Will my insurance cover it?
I had to chuckle when I read the headline.
I was wondering whose sex life was so boring it put them to sleep....
“...actions of sex can lead to her wanting to chat and bring up issues and leads to not going to sleep.”
I found that initiating sex at the time they want to talk is a prophylactic to having those tough conversations. Ha Ha.
They needed a study for this?
SO THAT’S WHY I FALL ASLEEP,SO FAST
