In today’s age, we have a myriad of ways to help us sleep: sound machines, melatonin, prescription drugs, CBD, a handful of cherries—the list goes on. But for men, we’ve always had built-in melatonin since the dawn of time: masturbation. Popstar is here to give the tips (and not just the tip) on how a bedtime stroke session can help with sleep improvement techniques.

If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing better than showering and getting in bed after a long day. But our nighttime routines seem to be constantly expanding—delaying our downtime and, ultimately, our sleep. What once was a simple face wash/teeth brush combo has spiraled into an umpteen-step routine of supplements, skin serums, retinoids, and masks. Exhausting. But there’s one bedtime routine that you’ll want to prioritize: masturbation.

Masturbation has been scientifically proven—yes, by actual scientists—to not only help people fall asleep but achieve a deeper, more restful sleep. According to masturbation research studies conducted by The Sleep Foundation, more than 50% of men (and women) say that an orgasm before bed helps them fall and stay asleep.

So, why is that? Enter science. When we orgasm, our bodies release a cocktail of feel-good chemicals, including:

• Oxytocin: Known as the love hormone, oxytocin and sleep go hand in hand. It helps the body relax and promotes drowsiness.

• Serotonin: This neurotransmitter boosts mood and relaxation, making serotonin and sleep besties.

• Prolactin: Elevated prolactin levels post-orgasm contribute to deep REM sleep, proving prolactin and sleep are a dream team.

But wait, there’s more. While your body floods with these dreamy hormones released during orgasm, it also flushes out cortisol—the stress hormone. High cortisol levels can lead to anxiety and insomnia, so lowering cortisol and sleep quality naturally improves.

For those not sleeping solo, combining orgasms and cuddling can be the ultimate bedtime routine for better sleep. Physical touch releases oxytocin and dopamine, making post-sex cuddling a natural sleep aid. Think of it as a prescription-free sleeping pill—with a lot more fun.

If you’re looking for natural sleep aids, it turns out your best bet might be in your own hands. Masturbation isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a legit sleep strategy. Masturbation offers a stress-free, pill-free way to relax, unwind, and drift off into dreamland. If you struggle with insomnia, adding a pre-bed wank session might be more effective than white noise or over-the-counter sleep aids. So next time you’re tossing and turning, ditch the melatonin and try the Popstar-approved method: a good old-fashioned solo session. Whether you're looking to unwind, reduce stress, or simply upgrade your nighttime routine, masturbation and relaxation go hand in hand (literally).
