Regardless of Ripa’s intention, her observations about her husband’s post-sex behavior beg the question: Do men really get disinterested after sex? In fact, Dasgupta said, the conditions under which couples have sex often have as much to do with whether men or women get sleepy after sex as do their postcoital hormonal differences. And for those men who may have sleep apnea, the aforementioned conditions can create the perfect environment for dozing off. Some men, usually those who are young, can go back to having sex immediately, while older men may take days, weeks or month until they’re rearing to go again. But it’s the difference in men and women’s aroused states that sometimes causes men to appear sleepier than women, Kerner said.
