Improving Sleep Quality with Tantra

It’s not new to think that sensuality can help you fall asleep. But why? Well the answer has to do with the hormones and chemicals that are released during sensual experiences. When we feel sensually stimulated we produce a chemical called Prolactin suppresses dopamine which is a stimulating neurotransmitter that makes you feel more awake. This means that dopamine (which is released during the actual stimulation and helps you stay awake during the actual act with the help of adrenaline) starts to not be perceived as much and prolactin takes its place. The “feel-good” hormone oxytocin also flows during stimulation. This is the chemical that makes you feel relaxed as it helps vanish any stressful thoughts from your mind. Once you’re done with the stimulation this obviously helps you feel more relaxed and ready to fall asleep.

Added to all this if you’re having a tantric massage done, for example, then the lights will be dimmed or off completely which signals your body that it’s time to go to sleep. The lights being off helps you add another chemical to our cocktail called melatonin which, in short, is the sleep hormone. When prolactin, oxytocin, and melatonin all come together, you have introduced the perfect trio that will carry you off to sleep in their loving and peaceful arms. This is why tantric massages are ideal for people who are either stressed or have a hard time falling asleep. However, what do you do when you’ve finally hit that snooze button in your brain and know you have to get up and drive home after a massage? Well, if you book a massage with Bespoke Tantric that won’t be an issue. You can enjoy your snooze after letting your masseuse out the door of your hotel room.
