Does staying up late cause impotence?

Patient's question:

I am currently undergoing training that requires me to work frequently, sometimes even on night shifts. My friend told me that men who often stay up late may experience premature ejaculation again, which can affect intimate relationships. I am somewhat skeptical of his viewpoint. Does staying up late cause premature ejaculation? Is what my friend said true?

Doctor's answer:

Males who often stay up late may certainly have the potential to develop sexual dysfunction. The specific manifestations of these conditions vary among individuals, and not everyone will experience these symptoms. It is important to ensure a daily sleep duration of 6 to 8 hours, maintain a balance between work and rest, prevent overexertion, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Both partners should engage in frequent communication to create a positive sexual environment and atmosphere. For severe cases of premature ejaculation, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
