Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
