Smoking is one of the major causes that have lead to a substantial drop in the number of erections that take place while you are asleep. When there is such reduction in the number of nightly erections, it is an early sign of something going wrong and that there is not adequate amount of blood flowing which can result in an erection. A study conducted by the Section of Endocrinology of the Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts indicates that this could happen due to excessive smoking. It is also proved that even stopping smoking for a day improves nightly erections.
