Overview
Sleep is when your body repairs, restores, and regulates key systems — hormones, immunity, memory, and metabolism. Poor sleep can contribute to fatigue, mood changes, cravings, and even increased risk for chronic illness.
Causes of Poor Sleep
- Stress and racing thoughts
- Poor sleep hygiene (screens, caffeine, alcohol at night)
- Hormone imbalance (low progesterone, high cortisol)
- Sleep apnea or snoring
- Restless legs, teeth grinding, or other physical disruptions
- Environmental factors (light, noise, temperature)
What You Can Do
- Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep most nights
- Create a bedtime routine (dim lights, no screens 1 hr before bed)
- Avoid caffeine or alcohol late in the day
- Manage stress with calming techniques before bed
- Keep a consistent sleep-wake schedule
- Consider a professional evaluation if sleep issues are persistent or severe
