Why men fall asleep after having sex

For all the unsatisfied wives and girlfriends like me who have wondered why our otherwise-perfect male partners roll over and fall straight to sleep after sex instead of engaging in endless romantic, pillow chit-chat with us, well, here.



A team of researchers from Inserm in France believe they have the answer: it seems our men actually just can’t help it.

Brain scans showed that after men reach orgasm, the thinking area of their brains actually shuts down.

Other parts then send a message out that the job is done, to let the body know that its interest in sex is no longer required.

Then, (just in case even further explanation is needed), the brain is hit with surges of oxytocin and serotonin, nature’s own “shut up and go to sleep” chemicals, rendering dudes all but powerless against the urge to crash.
