Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to use an observational design to examine whether the practice of orgasmic meditation (OM) is associated with app-based measures of sleep quality. A secondary purpose of this study is to examine whether the occurrence of physiological orgasm during OM practice is associated with app-based measures of sleep quality. It is hypothesized that the practice of OM will have a positive impact on sleep quality.
