Factors that diminish your sex drive

A healthy sex life can be incredibly elevating. But if you’ve been experiencing problems related to your sex life, you need to figure out the factors that could be dampening your spirits. We help you out.

A stalled libido could be due to a number of physical, emotional and psychological reasons ranging from conflicts with your partner, stress, depression, refraining from intimacy for a long time, grooming related issues, physical problems or simply not keeping well.

Fatigue and sleep deprivation: If you’ve been sleeping six hours or less than that, you are bound to experience a low sex drive. According to sleep experts, chronic sleep deprivation which occurs even if you sleep for six hours a night can lower the levels of testosterone (a sex drive hormone in both men as well as women).

Snoring: As funny as it may sound, but if your partner snores loudly not only will it disturb your sleep but will also lower his/her sex drive. Sleep apnea is a condition that causes abnormal breathing throughout the night and not only does it lead to lack of sleep, weight gain and can affect your sex life. Consult your doctor to treat this problem.
