"Why do you care about s*x and relationships???
Simply sleeping in the same bed as your gf/wife will improve your sleep. Simply being touched by someone will release hormones that will relax you, make you feel happy and positive and thus also help you to sleep
"Results: As compared to sleeping individually, co-sleeping was associated with about 10% more REM sleep, less fragmented REM sleep (p = 0.008), longer undisturbed REM fragments (p = 0.0006), and more limb movements (p = 0.007)."
This is interesting but from what I've read they don't really have a clear explanation as for why this is the case
I have a hypothesis which i will back up with studies:
Hypothesis: Bed-sharing couples sleep better because of human touch. Human touch produces serotonin which is a precursor of melatonin, the hormone of sleep
Let's back up the fact that simple human touch will increase your serotonin level
Cortisol decreases and serotonin and dopamine increase following massage therapy
In studies in which cortisol was assayed either in saliva or in urine, significant decreases were noted in cortisol levels (averaging decreases 31%). In studies in which the activating neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine) were assayed in urine, an average increase of 28% was noted for serotonin and an average increase of 31% was noted for dopamine.
The decrease in cortisol and increase in dopamine are already interesting but it is the serotonin increase that interests me the most
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is associated with relaxation, positivity, a sense of feeling good etc. It's the happiness drug of our body.
That alone sounds like it would help you sleep right? Well it gets better: serotonin is a precursor of melatonin, the hormone of sleep (see pic below)
Melatonin regulates our circadian rythm (the body's internal clock in layman's terms) and it is the key to good sleep. Melatonin is often used to treat sleep disorders or to promote a better sleep. I've put 2 studies on melatonin in the spoiler if you're interested
IF YOU ARE LONELY YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON GOOD SLEEP ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE

BONUS BLACKPILL: Neurodivergent people are known to have disturbances in the serotonin-melatonin pathway. They're sleep impaired on a hormonal level
If you're neurodivergent and have trouble sleeping it could be because of your autism. Roughly 50-80% of neurodivergent children suffer from sleep disorders
- birdenthusiast : You're the same height as me

I will admit, I am a 5ft 4" tall male, and I have already considered myself an abomination who will never be a sexhaver.
I wanna be ironic and jovial about it but I'm not, I'm fricking 5ft 4 tall. People ask me for ID to buy alcohol. I'm 24! I tried making a Tinder, with shots of my body without the legs to hopefully avoid women noticing as I know its unattractive. But I uninstalled after one women actually matched with me, only to compare my height with a fire extinguishers visible in the background of one of my photos and make fun of my height.
I don't want to be misogynistic but honestly it feels so unfair at times. I didn't choose to be born this height, Platform shoes can only take me so far without being obvious.
Anyone else shortcel? and can help me with any advice. People say just be confident, but whenever I try people just say how they could beat me in a fight.
Also I am NOT ASIAN FWI.

Dudes usually like me as company as I seem to be at least somewhat entertaining even if I can be pretty awkward and stutter a lot.
Women don't laugh at my jokes period. I never had a conversation with a foid where I didn't have to actively try to keep the conversation alive. Everytime I stopped trying hard to keep the convos going they just disengaged.
Talking to a foid as a sub 8 male is like talking to your fricking dog.
!incels women will never try to actively engage you in a convoy or show interest in you. Foids will never gaze into your eyes and play with their hair while you talk to them about your plans for today.
