Dr Adeoye Abdulmalik, an Ilorin based medical practitioner, has said that women, who rested well enjoyed better genital arousal, compared to those who had not slept for a long time.

Abdulmalik made this observation on Wednesday while speaking with newsmen in Ilorin. According to him, studies have shown that good sleep is important for healthy sexual desire and arousal in women, even when they are mentally and medically healthy.

“The message is that sleep is therapeutic and important for many areas of our daily living. “Good sleep has been shown to improve mood, energy, concentration, overall health and even sexual desire and arousal.  “Some researches have also shown that sleep increases sex hormones, which can influence feelings of sexual desire.

“When women sleep well, they feel aroused, whether by man or other women, as such interaction makes the body reacts in different ways.  “There will be increased blood flow into the genitals in women, which also helps to promote an increase in a woman’s natural vagina lubrication,” he added.
