When you laugh out more often you’re definitely more positive in your approach and this can be really good for your relationship. It is no secret that a happy relationship means you have less stress and have someone with who you can share everything, even your worries.
3. Your Sleep Will Improve
If you often toss and turn while sleeping, or can’t fall asleep, laughing out loud in the evening can help, because it releases the sleep hormone melatonin that will induce your body into sleep mode and help you get ready for bed.

Laughing out loud also releases the hormone endorphin that is responsible for improving your mood and also increases your pain endurance, which can be especially good if you are also working out and exercising.
