Does poor rest and lack of sleep affect sexual function?

Patient's question:

Male, not resting well these last couple of days, slightly experiencing neurasthenia. Normally, I sleep for 7 hours, but recently I've only been sleeping for 5-6 hours. However, my daytime energy levels are still okay. I'm worried about it affecting my sexual function. Does poor rest significantly interfere with sexual function? I usually exercise regularly and am in good health. Sometimes, I can achieve 4-5 erections in one night, and my sexual function is normal. I'm worried that I might not be able to perform because of my poor rest.

Doctor's answer:

You usually sleep 7 hours a day, sometimes 5 or 6 hours, and this situation usually does not cause significant interference with sexual function. As long as it is not long-term lack of sleep, it is not a problem. You enjoy exercising and are in good health, with relatively strong sexual performance and a good mental state, which proves that you are usually in good condition. Resting poorly these last two days has left you a bit exhausted, but it will not significantly interfere with sexual function. Pay attention to relaxing your body and mind, and it will be easier to fall asleep. Male diseases can be alleviated.
