Waking up with morning erections on a regular basis? This is a strong indicator that you are in good sexual health.
If you are waking up with morning erections, also known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), then your testosterone production, blood flow, and nerve function are as they should be. If you’re not… you should work on improving these areas.
Reasons for Morning Erections:
Hormonal Surge – Testosterone levels are at their peak in the early morning, typically between 5-8 AM. This hormonal spike plays a significant role in triggering erections.
REM Sleep and Neural Activity – During the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep, your brain shuts down the neurotransmitters that usually suppress erections when you’re awake (like norepinephrine). As a result, the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and blood flow, takes over, leading to an erection.
Physical Health Check – Morning erections are an indicator of healthy blood flow and normal nerve function. They’re often considered a “self-test” for your body’s erectile system.
Protective Role – Some researchers believe NPT helps maintain the health of penile tissue by keeping it oxygenated. Erections increase blood flow, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, preventing long-term damage.
What To Do If You’re Not Getting Morning Erections
If you’re not experiencing morning erections regularly, it could signal issues like hormonal imbalances, blood flow problems, or even stress and anxiety.
Try and tackle each of these areas individually… in the case of low testosterone, burn some stomach fat, lift weights, ensure you’re eating well, with a good balance of protein, carbs and healthy fats, get some sunlight, and ensure you’re getting a full nights sleep.
As to getting a full nights sleep, it’s key for recharging your testosterone levels… make sure your room is cool, dark and quiet… if it’s not, find a solution for each of these.
As to blood flow, one of the best ways to improve your circulation is to perform cardio on a regular basis. Manual techniques on the shaft, such as jelqing, can help physically improve circulation throughout your unit as well.
Follow these guidelines, and your morning wood will be back in no time.
