Boost Your Career Before Breakfast

Your morning routine might just need a spicy update. A recent study from ZipHealth suggests that a little morning action can do wonders for your career. The report reveals that having sex in the morning boosts productivity, focus, and job satisfaction, setting you up for potential pay raises and promotions.

According to the study, American workers who engage in morning sex report higher levels of productivity (71%), task completion (70%), and focus (58%). "Full-time workers who start their day with intimacy are often more motivated and satisfied with their jobs," the study authors said.


“Nearly 1 in 5 American workers enjoying morning intimacy received a promotion last year, a figure unmatched by any other time of day,” the experts noted.

Profitable Pillow Talk

It's not just about feeling good; morning intimacy could pad your wallet too. The study highlights that 51% of workers who have morning sex reported a raise in the past year, surpassing any other group. It appears that a little pre-work rendezvous could be the key to climbing the corporate ladder.

The research surveyed 1,000 U.S. workers across various generations, from Gen Z to Baby Boomers, revealing that older professionals are leading the charge in morning romance. Specifically, 20% of Boomers and Gen Xers over 45 are enjoying these morning benefits.

Industries Embracing the AM Advantage

In terms of industry trends, marketers top the list of morning enthusiasts, followed by those in hospitality, manufacturing, and construction. Not far behind are professionals from the entertainment sector, who are also reaping the benefits of starting their day with a bang.

Beyond just boosting productivity, morning intimacy is touted as an emotional booster, ranking higher than the usual cup of joe among more than 35% of surveyed employees. These individuals report higher levels of happiness, confidence, and emotional stability throughout the day.

As researchers conclude, "In a culture focused on productivity hacks, perhaps the most effortless and enjoyable one is already right in your bedroom." Morning intimacy might just be the feel-good strategy that boosts not only your well-being but also your success at work.
