Are you trying to conceive? So much attention is focused on a woman’s fertility because our reproductive systems and hormones are more varied and complicated. You might be exercising, eating well, perhaps taking some herbs or acupuncture. You may have also thought about your partner’s sperm quality and it can be improved.
But have you made sure your partner is getting enough sleep?
Some new research has just come out linking the length of a man’s sleep to the quality of his sperm.
A research project in China has shown that sleeping for less or more than seven hours a night could reduce men’s sperm quality.
Researchers found that sperm from men who slept for more than nine hours or less than six and a half hours a night had lower volume of and lower total sperm count
Scientists noted that the sperm quality was at its best when men snoozed for seven to seven and a half hours a day.
