Introduction
As men age, erectile dysfunction (ED) has become a hot topic in men's health. In recent years, due to the influence of lifestyle and stress, people have been getting more and more away from a regular sleep. There is study showing that sleep and erectile function are closely related, and people with poor sleep quality are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Let's follow 11 Oysters to explore the relationship between sleep and erection.
What is ED?
ED, erectile dysfunction, refers to the men that can’t achieve or maintain sufficient penile erection to complete satisfactory sexual intercourse. This situation increases with age, but due to bad lifestyle habits and stress, ED has becoming more and more common among young people.
The causes of ED are related to a variety of factors, including psychological factors, physiological factors and lifestyle factors.
Psychological factors include anxiety, depression, tension and fear; physiological factors include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neuropathy, endocrine disorders, surgical trauma, etc.; bad lifestyle habits include smoking, alcoholism, unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise, etc., which are all possible factors causing ED.
ED affects all aspects of life, especially physical and mental health, and interpersonal relationships.
①Physical and mental health
ED can cause great psychological stress on men, leading to negative conditions such as anxiety, inferiority, and depression. Severe psychological stress will further aggravate the symptoms of ED, forming a vicious cycle.
②Couple relationship
ED can affect the quality of sexual life between couples, leading to tension and disharmony in the relationship, which may lead to the breakdown of the relationship in the long run. In addition, ED may cause men to be unable to ejaculate normally, thus affecting fertility, which is a very serious problem for couples who want to have children.
ED has a wide and profound impact on men's daily lives, not only affecting their sexual life and mental health, but also their partner relationships and physical health. Therefore, if men find that they have symptoms of ED, they should calm down, maintain a healthy lifestyle and seek professional treatment.
Why poor sleep affects male erections?
People who have poor sleep quality are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Sleep experts at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the United States tested the sleep and nocturnal erections of volunteers. The results showed that the nighttime sleep pattern includes deep sleep and light sleep, and these two sleep patterns constitute a 2-hour sleep cycle. During light sleep, men will have erections. Generally, a full night of sleep will repeat four cycles, and men will also experience four erections during sleep. This allows the penile to get enough rest and the hormones in the body to be regulated regularly. If a man stay up late at night or have irregular sleep, it will affect his sleep pattern, resulting in an inability to have an erection at night and in the early morning, which will cause erectile dysfunction in the long run.
The link between sleep and erectile dysfunction is actually influenced by a variety of interrelated physiological, psychological and hormonal factors. Here are some reasons why poor sleep quality may lead to erectile dysfunction:
①Hormone regulation
Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is essential for sexual function. It is mainly produced during sleep, especially in the deep sleep stage. Lack of sleep can affect the secretion of testosterone, resulting in lower testosterone levels, which in turn affects sexual function. In addition, poor sleep quality or irregular sleep can also disrupt the body's biological clock, which is essential for hormone regulation, thereby affecting the secretion of cortisol and having a negative impact on erectile function. Long-term biological clock disorders can impair sexual function.
②Cardiovascular health
Penile erection depends on good blood flow. Lack of sleep increases blood pressure and inflammation, reduces the level of nitric oxide, which is essential for vasodilation, thereby affecting the blood supply to the penile and causing erectile dysfunction.
Insufficient sleep also increases oxidative stress and damages blood vessels, further impairing erectile function.
③Nervous system effects
Sleep disorders or lack of sleep can affect the nervous system and reduce the sensitivity and responsiveness of erections. Sleep can also affect the balance of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which can affect emotions and sexual arousal, thereby reducing sexual desire and sexual ability.
④Fatigue and sexual performance level
Lack of sleep can lead to chronic fatigue in the body, thereby reducing the desire and motivation for sexual activity.
How to improve Erectile Dysfunction?
There are many ways to improve erectile dysfunction, among which drug treatment is the most common method, and a combination of multiple methods is the most effective method.
①Drug treatment
Oral medication
Sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and valdenafil (Levitra) are common PDF5 inhibitors that can improve blood flow to the penis. In addition, there are some other products that help sexual function, such as sexual chocolate, sexual candy, etc., which can also improve sexual function.
Hormone therapy
Some ED is caused by low testosterone levels, so increasing testosterone levels can increase libido and improve erectile function.
②Psychological treatment
Relieve stress
Psychological stress and anxiety are common causes of ED. Psychological counseling under the guidance of a doctor to help patients release stress and relieve anxiety is an effective way to restore sexual function.
Open communication and exchange
Communicate openly with your couple about your situation and anxiety. Both husband and wife participate in treatment together to improve communication and relieve anxiety about sexual activity.
③Lifestyle adjustment
Lifestyle adjustment is an indispensable part of improving ED, especially good sleep, healthy diet, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption. In terms of diet, eating some natural foods are beneficial to improving sexual function, such as oysters, ginseng, maca, etc. If there are some people think it is too troublesome to find natural foods to improve sexual function, 11 Oyster Candy will be your best choice.

Physical therapy, surgical treatment
Physical therapy is to attract blood flow into the corpus cavernosum of the penis through negative pressure or stimulate the penile tissue with external impact to improve vascular function and promote penile erection.
For patients who are ineffective with drugs and other treatments, surgical treatment can be considered, such as prosthetic penis implantation.
To improve ED, you need to take into account your own specific situation, adopt a comprehensive treatment method, and choose the plan that causes the least harm to the body.
