2. Sleeping pills can cause prolonged erections
Trazodone is an antidepressant and sedative that’s often prescribed to help people fall asleep. But the drug is also known to cause priapism an erection that lasts longer than four hours.
If you stay hard for that long, it means that blood is trapped in your penis. Without treatment, priapism can lead to severe pain, tissue damage, and even permanent ED.

See the doctor if your erection lasts longer than four hours.
