The phrase "morning wood" refers to the common occurrence of an erection right after waking up. "Nocturnal penile tumescence" (NPT) is another term for it. During the rapid eye movement (REM) period of sleep, when most dreams take place, morning wood is a frequent and natural occurrence.
Certain sleep cycles, particularly the REM state, are often linked to erections, including morning wood. The body receives increased blood flow during REM sleep, and males may have many erections over the course of the night.Generally speaking, testosterone levels are greater in the morning, which may explain why morning erections and enhanced sexual excitement occur.
A full bladder may cause morning erections by applying pressure to the erectile tissues nearby.Variations in nerve activity during sleep may be a contributing factor to morning wood. The neurological system is involved in the regulation of erections.
