The Link Between Hormones and Sleep Disruptions
A good night’s sleep is essential for hormone regulation, stress recovery, and overall health, yet many people struggle with insomnia and restless nights—especially as they age. In a recent interview, Dawn Cutillo, founder of BeBalanced, explained how hormonal imbalances, stress, and lifestyle habits can interfere with sleep quality and shared natural solutions to help both men and women achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
Why Does Sleep Get Worse as We Age?
- Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, making it harder to relax at night.
- High cortisol depletes progesterone, a hormone that promotes calmness, relaxation, and deep sleep.
- Without enough progesterone, estrogen dominance occurs, leading to mood swings, anxiety, and disrupted sleep cycles.
- Sleep cycles rely on insulin and cortisol regulation—both of which are affected by diet, stress, and hormone levels.
- Many sleep issues stem from blood sugar fluctuations, which can cause nighttime wake-ups and restlessness.
