Too Tired For Sex - 4 Possible Reasons

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Sometimes after a long day a man is just too tired for sex, plain and simple. Fatigue, stress, burnout, and deficiencies in penis-specific vitamins and minerals, can take their toll on a regular healthy sex life. When such imbalances in diet and lifestyle are not corrected, testosterone levels are affected negatively which then impact on libido and sexual performance. Whilst it is entirely normal to experience fatigue and low sex drive from time to time, if the situation continues long-term a good idea is to examine your daily lifestyle habits and discover what is causing you additional stress.

Sleep Deprivation
Lack of sleep leads to fatigue which leads to reduced libido. Recent research suggests that sex can be a cure for insomnia but if stress is the cause of sleeplessness then that is easier said than done. Scientific studies from the University of Chicago discovered that men who are sleep deprived have significantly less testosterone in the body.

Testosterone is the male hormone vital for sexual performance, energy levels and libido. If testosterone levels are being regularly depleted by lack of restful sleep the situation can become a cycle which is difficult to break. Attempting to enjoy sexual interplay more frequently may help to encourage better sleep thereby increase testosterone levels.

Nutrients including magnesium, calcium, vitamin B and C may help with stress and sleep. Melatonin, passionflower, chamomile, magnolia flower and valerian root have also been shown in clinical studies to support a healthy and natural sleep.

Burnout
Fatigue is not only physical but also emotional. During times of increased stress, a demanding job or throughout a challenging relationship, men often feel that too much is being asked of them. Burnout is a real risk for many men in this situation which involves neurochemical, hormonal and metabolic changes in the body.

During a study by the University of Lethbridge, Canada, scientists found that male physicians experiencing burnout were significantly more likely to suffer from a reduced sex drive.

Other symptoms of burnout found in the physicians included chronic fatigue, anger, distress, forgetfulness, difficulty in making decisions, cardiovascular problems, insomnia, and an increased susceptibility to the common cold. Support with nutritional therapies, emotional counseling, and treating the cause of burnout are all important steps in regaining a healthy libido and strong relationships.

Nutritional deficiency
When the diet is lacking in specific nutrients fatigue and an increased susceptibility to illness is a risk. Protein is important, especially when exercising regularly, for balancing blood sugars and preventing fatigue. When sugar cravings are a constant factor during the day, blood sugar levels may be unsteady, contributing to poor glucose metabolism. Chromium is a micro-mineral which supports balanced blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Vitamin B12, folate, iron and vitamin C are all important for preventing anemia and ensuring oxygen is carried throughout the body. Vitamin C, B, zinc and magnesium are also required in increased quantities by the adrenal cortex during times of stress and pressure. When men are concerned about testosterone levels an easy and safe way of increasing this through supplementation. Vitamin C, E and zinc have all been proven to increase testosterone levels.

Food Allergies
Fatigue is not always about not getting enough nutrients. In many cases, fatigue and burnout can be caused by eating foods that cause immune problems in the body. Food allergies and sensitivities have been the center of focus for many doctors and scientists around the world, with worldwide interest growing substantially in the last decade.

According to one study published in "The Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology" researchers from Norway found a connection between food allergies and fatigue. In a group of patients being tested for food allergies and sensitivities, 85% experienced chronic fatigue and 71% experienced fibromyalgia. The most common culprits of food allergies are often the proteins found in wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, and tomatoes.
