Why am I always tired the morning after masturbating?

I like to masturbate before I sleep because I’m always exhausted afterwards. But the next morning, I’m always super groggy and it takes me FOREVER to wake up.

  • The grogginess comes from extreme relaxation.. you released a bunch of great hormones and then went to bed, so you probably slept really well. Your body is just saying that it was a good night, don't let that deter you. Being sleepy afterwards is because you just aren't ready to wake up and start moving around.

  • Because masturbation (or an orgasm in general) releases dopamine (a natural "happy" drug your body produces) and when you orgasm it spikes... dopamine also provides you with energy.. and if you "spend" it then you'll feel down.
    Try going one day without masturbating and you'll feel completely energetic! :)

  • I dunno, that’s weird. I masturbate almost every night, too, but I feel fine in the morning. I just rub my clit, though. Maybe you do a lot more and it takes a lot of energy.

  • Because girl, the female orgasm is INTENSE and is a treat you should indulge in so keep doing it ;)

  • Because you take so long that you only get a couple of hours of sleep after.

  • Orgasm or sex releases a hormone called prolactin. Its means you got the job done and you can goto sleep. If you abuse masturbation its possible that you are rushing your brain with dopamine too.

  • I dont think the two things are related. Have you tried doing it in the morning and then having a shower and off to the rest of the day?
    If your having sex do you wake up or are you not doing that?
    you may just find sleeping will help then waking and going for it will give you a better start to the day and get your clock in sync

  • that's weird.

  • Are you taking your vitamins?
