Now oftentimes know that testosterone level is the highest at nighttime and in the morning. That's why you hear the phrase morning wood. Because at nighttime, when a man sleeps, that's when his body recovers physically and psychologically, and that's when the testicles make more testosterone. A man can have three to six morning wood a night. It ranges from five minutes to even 10 minutes.
