Cuddling triggers the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which promotes comfort and connection while reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Experts suggest that even short pre-sleep cuddle sessions can offer meaningful physiological and psychological benefits, emphasizing the importance of intimacy in nightly routines.
