The study also found that women who typically slept for less than five hours per night were more likely to report sexual problems but this finding was no longer statistically significant once variables such as age, education, race, body mass index, depression, anxiety and partner status were introduced. This led researchers to conclude quality of sleep not quantity was associated with sexual activity.
Sexual dysfunction generally entails persistent, recurrent problems related to sexual response, desire, orgasm or pain that cause distress to an individual or strains a relationship with a partner, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms vary but can include low sexual arousal, sexual arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder or sexual pain disorder. Because the nature of sexual response involves a complex relationship between physiology, emotions, experiences and beliefs, among other factors, treatment can vary and usually includes more than one avenue of approach.
