Nocturnal tumescence: Males typically experience 6 to 8 erections during any given nights sleep. These nocturnal erections are natures way of keeping the erectile tissue oxygenated and healthy even when you are not sexually active. Many times men awaken during one of these cycles. If not aroused sexually, the erection will go down within a few minutes.

Normal: In fact, one of the techniques to determine whether the problem is physical or psychological in men having problems with erections is to determine whether they have noctural erections.
