Sleep is not just rest. It is recovery. When sleep is fragmented, oxygen and stress systems can be affected, and men may notice changes in energy, mood, weight, and erections, which can relate to what erectile dysfunction means.

Loud snoring and daytime sleepiness can be signs that sleep quality is poor. Some men may have sleep apnoea, which is a medical issue worth assessing.

Common signs to look for

  • Loud snoring most nights
  • Waking unrefreshed even after enough hours

  • Partner noticing breathing pauses
