A short YouTube video by Anne Truong MD explaining that nighttime or morning erections ("morning wood") are normal and expected. The speaker notes that decreased frequency can signal lifestyle or health issues—poor sleep, diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol use, or high blood pressure—and that ejaculation during sleep (wet dreams) can occur when sexual stimulation appears in dreams. The piece frames morning erections as a programmed, normal bodily function.

So it's perfectly normal to get nighttime or morning wood erection. And in fact, you should be getting it. And if you notice you're getting it less, then it's a sign that, hey, you probably need to get maybe more sleep or maybe reevaluate your lifestyle, your diet, your exercise, and if you're smoking, you're drinking alcohol, or if you have high blood pressure. So having said that, it's perfectly normal for you to even have ejaculation during morning wood or wet dream. It's because that happens when you are sexually stimulated when you dream. So that's something to keep in mind. And just know that your body is programmed to get morning wood.
