Research shows that testosterone levels naturally rise during the first few hours of uninterrupted sleep, particularly during deep and rapid eye movement (REM) stages. However, consistently sleeping less than six hours per night has been linked to a significant drop in testosterone levels.
Medical specialists warn that reduced testosterone can affect energy levels, muscle mass, mood, and libido. Sleep deprivation also disrupts the body’s hormonal rhythm and triggers an increase in stress hormones, which further suppress testosterone production.
Experts say many people focus on diet and exercise while overlooking sleep, despite its powerful influence on hormonal health. They emphasize that regular, sufficient, and high-quality sleep is one of the most effective and accessible ways to support hormone balance and overall well-being.
