mechanism behind morning wood<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Before we get into why morning wood dissipates during urination, we need to understand why it happens in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men go through various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK19956\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">stages<\/a> throughout a typical sleep cycle, including REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep and NREM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The body goes through several physiological changes during these stages, including increased blood flow to the penile area.<br><br>Thus, during <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12707495\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">REM<\/a> sleep, the parasympathetic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/men\/what-to-know-about-morning-wood#:~:text=Some%20people%20believe,and%20sexual%20arousal.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">nervous<\/a> system becomes more active, causing greater blood flow to the penis.&nbsp;<br><br>This increased blood flow and decreased sympathetic nervous system activity result in erections when sleeping.&nbsp;<br><br>During this time, the levels of testosterone are also at their highest in the morning, which contributes to the prevalence of morning wood.&nbsp;<br><br>As mentioned, morning wood is natural and healthy, often indicating reproductive system and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-soft\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#7a1312;border-radius:10px;\"><div class=\"su-box-title\"
