“…Shift work-associated central neurotransmitter alterations, circadian rhythm changes, and sleep disturbances caused by shift work and SWSD may also interfere with the secretion of a variety of neurotransmitters closely associated with premature ejaculation (including 5-HT, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate) [ 28 , 29 ]. Moreover, these neurotransmitters also play an important role in sleep regulation, and thus, there may be a mutual regulatory relationship between them [ 21 , 30 ].…”

Objective Shift work and Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) are known to affect the secretion of several neurotransmitters and hormones associated with premature ejaculation (PE). However, their specific influence on the regulation of male ejaculation remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between shift work, SWSD, and PE. Methods From April to October 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted across five regions of China to explore the work schedules, sleep quality, and sexual function of male workers. Participants' sleep quality was evaluated using a validated SWSD questionnaire, and their erectile function and ejaculatory control were assessed with the International Inventory of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) scores, respectively. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were employed to identify risk factors associated with PE. Confounders were controlled using multiple regression models, and clinical prediction models were developed to predict PE onset and assess the contribution of risk factors. Results The study included 1239 eligible participants, comprising 840 non-shift workers and 399 shift workers (148 with SWSD and 251 without SWSD). Compared to non-shift working males, those involved in shift work (β 1.58, 95% CI 0.75 – 2.42, p < 0.001) and those suffering from SWSD (β 2.86, 95% CI 1.86 – 3.85, p < 0.001) they had significantly higher PEDT scores. Additionally, we identified daily sleep of less than six hours, depression, anxiety, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, frequent alcohol consumption (more than twice a week), and erectile dysfunction as risk factors for PE. The predictive model for PE demonstrated commendable efficacy. Conclusion Both shift work and SWSD significantly increase the risk of premature ejaculation, with the risk magnifying in tandem with the duration of shift work. This study reveals the potential impact of shift work and SWSD on PE and provides new theoretical foundations for the risk assessment and prevention of this condition.

“…Music also increases the levels of serotonin and endorphin. These neurotransmitters are known to induce sleep and reduce anxiety (Jouvet, 1999;Ursin, 2002;Anderson and Shivakumar, 2013;Shehata et al, 2021).…”

Music has been known for ages to have a strong influence on humans. It has been reported to enhance memory, increase endurance, brighten the mood, and reduce anxiety and depression. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effect of calm music and emotional songs on blood pressure and heart rate in healthy female subjects. 30 female subjects were randomly divided into three groups: the control group, the calm music group, and the emotional song group, with each group having 10 subjects. All the subjects were comfortably seated in a restricted room devoid of external noise. Prior to the experiment, the subjects were allowed to rest for 15 minutes. The control group sat down without listening to any music for the duration of the study. The calm music and emotional song groups listened to calm music and emotional song, respectively, for 60 minutes. A digital sphygmomanometer was used for measuring the blood pressure and heart rate at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. The study recorded a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure in the test groups compared to the control group, but there was no significant change in heart rate. In conclusion, listening to calm music and emotional songs has the potential to reduce blood pressure in healthy female individuals.
