The INSIDER Summary:
- A study suggests that the best time to have sex is 7:30 a.m.
- The study's researchers said that stamina is highest in the morning and the rush of endorphins can be a positive start to your day.
- They also found out what they say is the best time of day to have a drink, go to bed, and tackle tough tasks.
Everyone has a different rate of how often they have sex with their partner, but for a majority of people, sex happens at night and in the dark.
But a new study suggests that you may want to set your alarm earlier to get the optimal benefits from your next sexual encounter.
The health and well-being firm Forza Supplements monitored 1,000 people and said the findings showed that the best time to have sex is 7:30 a.m. — which is, on average, about 45 minutes after you wake up. They reasoned that people have the most stamina around this time and that the rush of endorphins gained by having sex will set a positive tone for the rest of the day.
This makes sense too, because several experts told INSIDER that one of the best things that couples can do to spice up their sex life is to have sex with the lights on.
Forza also found the best times of the day to do various other activities, including when to have a drink (6:10 p.m.), the best time to go to sleep (10:10 p.m.), and the best times to do your most mentally-strenuous activities (9:45 a.m.).
Though ultimately the best time to have sex is whenever you're in the mood, trying out morning sex may be worth a shot if you want a shot of excitement or to jump-start your day.
