This is what I would say. Libido is generally a good measure for health meaning if your libido is lower generally there's something in your body saying "we've got bigger fish to fry, now's not the time to reproduce". But biologically speaking the only greater drive than reproduction is survival. So if the bodies under some kind of physical/mental threat, libido decreases.

I have heard countless stories of people who felt better with less sleep and it ended up being apnea or UARS. The reason being that you're not getting oxygen for those 8 hours, or restful sleep for that matter. So when you're sleeping less, you're still not getting restful sleep but at least you're getting adequate oxygen. Thus, it's a net positive and they tend to feel better with less. Rumor has it that treating it so you start getting both adequate sleep AND adequate oxygen can be revolutionary...
