Sleeping less than 5 hours may cause "lower sexual desire" in men. This conclusion that seems a bit scary actually contains a lot of health common sense. Although there are many people who stay up late, and it seems that not many people suffer from reduced sexual performance due to staying up late, this conclusion actually implies a health crisis for men.

At present, our modern urban men work very hard for their careers and families, but they don’t pay much attention to sleep. In fact, sleep time is very important to a man.

If a man slept less than 5 hours a night for a week, his testosterone levels were significantly lower than when he slept normally.

Testosterone deficiency is closely related to low energy, decreased libido, poor concentration, fatigue, etc., and it plays a key role in building muscle strength and bone marrow density. "Low testosterone levels are associated with reduced feelings of well-being and vitality, which may also be due to lack of sleep," said Eve Kentell, professor of medicine. "With the progress of research, the relationship between insufficient sleep time, poor sleep quality and endocrine disorders has been confirmed." In addition, reduced sleep will cause a young man's testosterone levels to age by 10 to 15 years.

Studies have shown that sleeping only 5 hours can reduce testosterone levels by 10% to 15%. These people have the lowest testosterone levels in the afternoon of their sleep restriction days, from 2 pm to 10 pm. To self-report their mood and energy levels, they reported that as their testosterone levels dropped, so did their sense of well-being. Therefore, we men should choose the correct sleep time and never stay up late. Staying up late is also very harmful to our health. Go to bed early and get up early!

Although modern people's nightlife is rich and colorful, do you know that your health seems to be slowly disappearing from the consumption of staying up late and watching TV every night? Especially for men, staying up late for a short period of time seems to have no effect, but over time I believe there are many harmful effects.
