Question
Hi,

I have two questions to ask from you.This what I knew for some time but not knowing why.

1)Is there any relationship between sleep and sexual feelings( some  say when they are sleepless in the
night they tend to arise more sexual feelings) Is it true or what factor is behind it?

2)Why does the sexual feelings arise more in the night than in the other times of the day?

Thanks for your time  

Answer
Hi chanuka;
 1.I am not sure about this but I think this might be an individual thing that not everyone experiences because I know of no physiological explanation

  2. Since most sexual activity occurs at night in bed I would think that anticipation of sex would make feelings arise
