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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Orgasmic Meditation (a structured, partnered meditation involving female genital stimulation)
What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could suggest that this specific meditation practice may help improve sleep quality.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (41 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to the general population.
