answer

Being tired can lead to erectile dysfunction. Sex takes energy, both physical and mental. When your body needs to rest, it avoids the activities that are the least crucial. That includes sex. Also some other medical problems such as low-testosterone production can cause both tiredness and erectile dysfunction.

Always talk to your doctor if you are unable to get or maintain an erection more than 25 percent of the time.
