Orgasmic meditation linked to better sleep in small study
NCT ID NCT04455971
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at whether practicing Orgasmic Meditation (OM) is associated with better sleep quality. 41 experienced OM practitioners tracked their sleep using a phone app for 30 nights. The study aimed to see if more OM sessions or experiencing orgasm during practice correlated with improved sleep. Because it is observational, it can only find associations, not prove that OM causes better sleep.
