Back in 2001, a survey found that many couples said they were too tired for sex. A more recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that adults in the U.S. are not getting enough sleep. We keep reading articles such as Arianna Huffington's 2010 Sleep Challenge about people, especially women, being sleep deprived.
What can you do if you are too tired to have sex? Solutions include:
- Talk with one another about the sexual problems in your marriage.
- Schedule a sex appointment with your spouse.
- Just do it.
- Try to get a good night's sleep with your spouse.
- Follow the sleep hygiene tips provided by the CDC.
What is your solution to being over tired and having a low sex or no sex marriage?
i have tried all of these with my ex’s. It worked in the beggining and then i just didnt want to have sex every night and like all day. All my boyfriends escept one have ressured me and thats why we broke up. But i have finally found someone that doent always think about it. We are saving it for the right time. and thats what i reallylike bout him. ive only know him since new years eve. that is when we met. i think we are meant for each other. Im falling inlove and sex is the last thing on my mind.
My husband stays up till 11.30 or midnight on the internet or watching TV, then collapses into bed. He always says he’s too tired for sex – but he puts himself in this position! I’m no nymphomaniac but I want to have sex more often than 5 times in 15 months., even once a week would be great. I’ve tried asking him to come to bed earlier, explaining that the reason is so we can have more sleep/be less tired/have sex/any combination of the above, and yet I am not getting any!!!!
I believe that if you feel that you are not getting your quota you need to start setting appointments with your spouse; not just the day but the time and make it early enough that you both have plenty of energy! An occasional early-in-the-morning, before kids awake, can also be an exhilarating experience.
