3. Prioritize Your Sleep
If you are stressed from your lack of sleep, crazy work schedule, and overall lifestyle, your sex drive is going to take a huge hit. When cortisol (the primary stress hormone) levels rise in your body, your sex drive is one of the first things that takes a beating.
But fear not! If you lower lifestyle stress, and regularly get 8 hours of sleep per night, your sex drive will increase. Why is that? Because testosterone (the sex and aggression hormone in men and women) is only produced at night. So if you aren’t getting enough sleep, your sex drive plummets quickly.
To improve your sleeping patterns, aim to go to bed at the same time every night, limit exposure to any electric light within an hour before going to bed (especially the blue light that emits from cell phones and laptops), and write down any thoughts that are jumbling around in your mind so you can feel free of them. Happy testosterone producing!
