Why Men Sleep After Sex by Komex(m): 9:53pm On Oct 16, 2014
Since the inception of s*xuality, many
reasons have been given why men sleep
just immediately after s*x; with ‘they
are selfish’ point topping the list of
reasons, many need to know the real
reasons why this has been prominent
with men.
Although s*x has been referred to as one
of the most enjoyable things between a man
and woman, the woman race has been on the
search to know why men nods straight to
sleep after a good s*x. With most women
thinking ”dropping” straight into sleep by
their men is a complete negative phenomena,
the general notion has been that men are
actually selfish to sleep immediately not
minding how their mates feel about it.

Although men argue that the nature of
sleeping immediately after s*x is due to
tiredness from its rigors, Scientists have
however found a good argument for men by
confirming that ”men sleep after s*x
because they just cannot help it”. In a
recent publication by Punch, it has been
ascertained that men sleep after s*x
because they have little power over their
bodies at that point in time, hence, not
being able to stay awake after the whole
rigor of s*x.
Scientists have said that men really do need
to sleep after s*x when they climax
because their brains become flooded with
sleep-inducing chemicals such as oxytocin,
serotonin and prolactin. Also, the blood rush
after the climax depletes the muscles of
energy-producing glycogen and because
men typically have higher muscle density
than women, they become more tired after
s*x.
A research made it known that after s*x, a
man’s cerebral cortex, which is the
‘thinking’ area, shuts down almost
immediately after orgasm, in which two
other areas, the cingulate cortex and
amygdale make the rest of the brain to
deactivate from s*xual desire. This
successive s*xual behavior has however
been linked to only humans alone according
to research.
However it has been said that wives can
talk to their partners about how they feel
after s*x, urging their husbands to
dedicate few minutes for them immediately
after s*x, so as to help enhance the
sleeping nature of their husbands after s*x.
According to a Consultant Psychologist,
Prof. Toba Elegbeleye, said s*x takes a lot
of energy to complete and that there is
tendency for the brain and the entire
system to want to rest when such intense
energy is exhibited. He also made it known
that the location where the s*xual activity
takes place also has a way of affecting the
man. In his words: “When you indulge in s*x,
which usually takes place at night when
people sleep naturally, it comes with a level
of intensity that involves all your energy
and whatever you can muster to make it
have a shaking effect, after which the
multi-nerve ends are relaxed. This makes
people sleep easily.
“It also depends on where you do it. Usually,
if it is a legal encounter, which takes place
in your own bedroom where you are
comfortable, you might sleep, which is
different from when you do it in your car
or somewhere else under duress, that is not
so comfortable.
“Another factor that could aid sleeping well
after s*x is eating good food prior to the
act because you may not be able to do it
well if you are hungry and the body
entertains only one urge at a time and
hunger is as strong an urge and a drive as
s*x is. Other factors could be to have a
pleasant room atmosphere with a good bed
and if there is no thought of threatening
financial burden or security issues in mind.”

Sex is the best sleeping pill out there...even more effective than the so called sleeping meds..

Research
shows that during ejaculation, men release a cocktail of brain
chemicals, including norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin,
vasopressin, nitric oxide (NO), and the hormone prolactin. The
release of prolactin is linked to the feeling of sexual
satisfaction.

Prolactin levels are naturally higher during sleep, and animals
injected with the chemical become tired immediately. This
suggests a strong link between prolactin and sleep, so it’s likely
that the hormone’s release during orgasm causes men to feel
sleepy.
