In addition to providing you with pleasure, certain sexual positions would be effective to make you fall into the arms of Morpheus. This is what a British study reveals.
To fight insomnia, there are various tips, breathing techniques, meditation, and even home remedies to help those who suffer from it fall asleep faster. Among these solutions, there is also sex! Some sexual positions would give, in addition to a good orgasm, a good night's sleep. This is what a survey by the British sleep website reveals The Dozy Owl. The study, relayed in the media columns Metro UK covers 1,652 volunteers. The latter were instructed to wear a sleep monitor when slipping under the sheets and after having sex in a position designated for the study. The experiment lasted for three months, during which participants had to experiment with 25 popular sex positions. The results show that, in general, making love at night increases REM sleep (the last stage of the sleep cycle, during which we dream a lot), especially that of men by 10% more than that of women. . And some positions seem to stand out for a good night's sleep.
Doggy style to sleep better at night
In first position, we find the doggy style, which would increase the duration of paradoxical sleep by 43%. This is closely followed by the lotus position (39%), the deployed eagle (35%), the very acrobatic position of the bridge (26%) and the position of the Andromache (26%). The study does not specify the reason why these positions improve the quality of sleep but highlights those which, on the contrary, prevent a good sleep. The corkscrew, for example, was found to be the sex position that decreases REM sleep the most, by 26%. Next comes the 69 (-22%), the spider tied with the standing sex (-17%) and the missionary (-9%).
