Why do you wake up with a bonerš¦“ā
Waking up with an erection is a common occurrence among men. It is often referred to as the morning wood and can be quite confusing to many individuals. There are several reasons why men wake up with a boner, and in this article, we will explore some of the most common causes.
Increased testosterone levels
Testosterone is the primary sex hormone in men, and its levels are highest during the early morning hours. This increase in testosterone levels can cause an erection, even if you are not sexually aroused. This is why men often wake up with an erection in the morning.
REM sleep
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is a type of sleep that occurs in cycles throughout the night. During REM sleep, the body is relaxed, and the brain is active. This is also the stage of sleep when men experience the most erections. The combination of increased testosterone levels and REM sleep can lead to a morning erection.
Full bladder
A full bladder can also cause an erection in men. When the bladder is full, it puts pressure on the nerves that are responsible for controlling erections. This pressure can cause an erection, even if you are not sexually aroused. So, if you wake up with an erection, it might be a sign that you need to use the bathroom.
