Napping has been proven to have some serious cognitive benefits, such as improving your reaction time; one 2003 study even showed that people perform as well on logistical tests after an hour-long nap as they do after a full night of sleep.
 

Indeed, masturbation has been said to improve sleep, reduce stress, alleviate the pain of menstrual cramps, and increase sexual desire and sensitivity in women. It also can relieve some symptoms of depression, as an orgasm “releases feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that lift your spirits, boost your satisfaction, and activate the reward circuits in your brain," sex researcher Gloria Brame told Psychology Today. And in men specifically, orgasms have been connected with a lowered risk of prostate cancer and longer lifespans, among other things.
