We offer compassionate care and comprehensive treatment options in sleep disorders, as well as fertility. Sleep is important for hormonal health. Sleep plays a vital role in fertility from menstruation to conception to birth, causing a major roadblock in people trying to conceive. The part of the brain that regulates the sleep-wake hormones in both men and women is responsible for triggering the daily release of hormones that affect ovulation in women and sperm maturation in men. A study in men who sleep less than 6 hours a night found that they are 31% less likely to achieve pregnancies than those who sleep 7 to 8 hours a night. This is due to the production of testosterone hormones (production of sperm) while sleeping. Sleep disturbances in men lower overall sperm count, decreasing testosterone levels as well as its mobility. Studies have found that if women do not get enough sleep, over time it will have direct effects on reproductive-related hormones including estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone (LH) and the follicle-stimulating hormone. The LH is responsible for the regular menstrual cycle and ovulation and may contribute to the delay of conception. Women that experience sleep problems are 3.7 times more likely to become infertile over time.
