The Impact of Sleep on Testosterone and Health
Getting sufficient sleep, ideally between 7 to 9 hours per night, is crucial for overall health and hormone production. Lack of sleep, especially REM sleep, can lead to lower testosterone levels, decreased libido, impaired muscle recovery, and increased risk of health issues. Studies show that each additional hour of sleep can increase testosterone levels by 15%. Disruptions to sleep, such as alcohol, THC, and caffeine, can negatively affect REM sleep. It is important to prioritize quality sleep to optimize hormone levels and overall well-being.
