Sleep

For both men and women, changes in our levels of sex hormones can affect how well we sleep. These differences also change with age. Understanding the connections between hormones and sleep may help improve your own sleep and well-being.

Hormones control many of the body’s processes, including growth, development, reproduction, responding to stress, metabolism and energy balance. Hormones are linked with sleep in a number of ways.

The relationship between hormones and the sleep-wake cycle in women is highly influenced by the menstrual cycle. Just before a woman’s period, hormonal changes, including the sudden drop in levels of progesterone, affect the body’s temperature control, which in turn can reduce the amount of 'REM' sleep.

A sleep log is a great way to document your sleep quality and see if that improves over time. Tracking your sleep is a lot more than just what time you went to bed and what time you woke up. If and when you feel tired or fatigued throughout the day it may be part of your hormonal cycle.
