Also, not getting enough sleep can wreak havoc on your hormones.

"Men who sleep 5 hours a night have significantly smaller testicles than men who sleep 7 hours or more. Men who routinely sleep 4-5 hours a night will have a level of testosterone of someone 10 years their senior."

Yep, and that was a part of my problem. Unbalanced hormones lead to poor sleep, and poor sleep leads to unbalanced hormones. My pituitary just stopped working correctly, and no matter how many hours I spent in bed, my body just wasn't doing what it needed to dial up the deep sleep requirements. Horrible negative feedback loop.

My god, popular wisdom right here. In my country, a good-for-nothing, lazy person is called 'huevón', which means 'someone with big testicles' in Spanish. It's applied to both men and women, though.

Same as boludo in Argentina

¡Gracias! No estaba seguro de si eran equivalentes.

Seems logic. I wonder what this men could do to kill time in all of those extra hours in the bed.
