“Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s your body’s nightly hormone reset.”
Research on ageing men shows 👇
1️⃣ Less sleep = less testosterone. Even a few short nights can drop T levels — causing low energy, weaker muscles, and lower drive.
2️⃣ Poor sleep raises cortisol (your main stress hormone), especially in the afternoon — pushing your body into breakdown mode.
3️⃣ When testosterone drops and cortisol rises, your body stores more fat and becomes more insulin resistant.
4️⃣ A study found that balancing these hormones cut insulin resistance in half — even without sleeping more.
5️⃣ Sleep apnea worsens the cycle — but treating it helps restore hormones and protect long-term health.
💬 What’s the hardest part about getting deep, restorative sleep for you — your schedule, your mind, or your habits?
