Did you know that sex can possibly save your life? Or, at the very least, prolong it? It’s true. But there’s a bit of a tweak to your sex schedule you may want to think about implementing. Turns out setting your alarm clock an hour earlier just might be healthy for you — and for your relationship.

Every day, my dude is up at the crack of dawn. I am not. Because of this, he’s lights-out the moment his head touches the pillow. I am not. We manage to meet in the middle when we can — someone stays up late, someone goes to bed early. But for the most part, any frisky stuff happens after dark, once all work deadlines are met, chores are done, and children are asleep. I’m sure most folks can relate. We’re a culture that correlates sex with darkness and being horizontal.
But what if we turn the tables (and turn back the alarm clocks)? J. Cole knows what’s up. There’s something to be said for an early-morning romp, especially considering that there are physical reasons why a prework quickie tops Netflix and chill.
