Many people tend to prefer sex at night-time as it solves their stressful physical and mental energy. However, studies have shown that physical intimacy in the early hours of the morning can be equally beneficial, if not more.

In this article, we discuss 3 specific benefits of early morning love that are supported by science.

1) Better Sleep Quality

According to research, sex releases a hormone called oxytocin that can grant you a better night’s sleep. Though it is not the only good chemical triggered by sex, it does play a significant role in letting you have a deep sleep.

According to a 2017 study published in the journal “Social Psychophysiology” oxytocin reduces the release of cortisol from the adrenal gland to help you manage stress hormones.

On the other hand, another hormone called prolactin that is involved in post-orgasm leaves you feeling relaxed and sleepy.

Although production naturally increases after sex, a morning session can produce an even greater dose, so you can snooze without struggling.

2) Boosting Immunity

One of the most commonly known benefits of sex is that it boosts immunity. A study from the Archives of Sexual Behaviour found that people who have frequent sex battles with cold and flu-like infections.

Furthermore, simply anticipating sex has been shown to boost your immune system as well as increase your sex drive.

In a 2014 study, researchers measured natural killer immune cell activity before and after a sexual activity session with their partner -either in the morning or evening.

Among tested subjects, it was found that those who had morning sex had better immune responses viz-a-viz than those who had sex in the night.

3) Start Your Day with a Smile

Everyone loves a little morning love. Even science supports this claim. A study conducted in 2016 by German researcher demonstrates that people who make love daily in the morning feel more satisfied and happy than others who had sex in the night.

The participants who began their day with physical intimacy found themselves less stressed, with a positive attitude to lead their day. Additionally, the study also found the couples who communicate affection to each other experienced better intimacy satisfaction, which led them to feel happier.

Overall, early morning love has numerous scientific benefits that can significantly improve your health and well-being.

Conclusion

Many couples set aside a particular time for lovemaking, but by prioritizing intimacy in the early morning, one can reap numerous benefits, especially for their mental and physical health.

A quick session of love can enhance your day by adding positivity that helps you fight stress and anxiety throughout the day. The endorphins released can boost your energy, uplift your mood, and create an intimate bond between partners.
