Sex and a Shower Help You Sleep Longer!

See, the benefits of a little hot lovin' just keep on rolling in!  I've been preaching its medicinal powers to my wife for years, but now there's scientific proof I was right.  On the flip side is this week's full moon.  Thousands of Americans, including yours truly, spend many sleepless nights when the moon is full.  But, apparently, there are much worse things that cause a bad night's rest and a list of things to help you actually sleep longer and get more rest.  

According to new research in the ReDormin Sleep Study, the following five things COST you the most sleep:

1.  Being in an alert mood when you go to bed causes you to sleep 46 minutes LESS.

2.  Having a partner who snores costs you 14 minutes.

3.  Having your cell phone charging next to the bed costs you 11 minutes.

4.  Watching a movie right before bed costs 10 minutes.

5.  And having a fan running costs you nine minutes of sleep.

 And here are five things hat help you sleep LONGER:

1.  Doing YOGA before bed adds 64 minutes of sleep time . . . and also improves the QUALITY of your sleep more than anything else.

2.  Having a small child in bed adds 24 minutes . . . but it's also the thing that hurts the QUALITY of your sleep more than anything else.  So you sleep longer, but not as well.

3.  Being in a calm mood before going to bed adds 24 minutes.

4.  Having an adult partner in bed with you adds 21 minutes.

5.  And having SEX before bed adds the same amount as taking a HOT SHOWER before bed . . . about six minutes.
