With these sex positions, you will sleep better.

Sometimes you just have to go all out before you take a nap. Yes, we know: we are all tired, and we all lie so wonderfully comfortably in that bed after a long day.

Still, you just put on your naughtiest lingerie and shave your legs, because hop: sex is needed for a moment. And more sex too. You actually sleep better from it, researchers say. And it has now been proven which positions this is exactly about.

Doggy style
According to experts, a bit of exciting bouncing in doggy style would make you fall asleep the best. It turned out that 43 percent of participants had more REM sleep after a session in this position. And that REM sleep is what you want: that is your deepest sleep, and the sleep in which you dream a lot. Your body and mind really relax then and you optimally process everything you experience during the day.

Lotus
A slightly less known position but just as good for your sleep quality. Also in ‘the lotus’, REM sleep increased for 39 percent of participants. It actually works quite simply. Usually, the man sits cross-legged, with his penis obviously stiff in the air. You sit on top and move, with your faces towards each other. You feel very intimate together and that is exactly what brings calm to your body afterwards. You can enjoy a nice dream afterwards.

Eagle
As a third, ‘the eagle’ turned out to provide 35 percent more REM sleep for participants. This is actually the missionary position, but the one lying underneath spreads their legs much wider than normal. As in: as wide as you can and even wrap a bit around the one on top. So you can feel each other well from all sides. Then you can enjoy your eight hours of deep sleep: quite satisfying after a good romp, right?

To be fair: you almost always sleep better if you have first had some fun. So leave that silly pajamas in the closet and make some effort tonight first. You won't regret it.
