Getting Pregnant and Sleep

Sleep and Fertility: Why You Should Practice Good Sleep Patterns

If you are working long hours, are stressed or your lifestyle is jam packed with social events that stop you from sleeping, the constant sleep deprivation can affect your body, hormones and fertility. Researchers have shown that women who get less than 5 hours of sleep are more likely to be overweight and holding onto a few extra kilos and being overweight can lower your fertility.

Sleep problems can also be caused by common female hormonal imbalances such as PCOS, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Cysts, Thyroid Imbalance and PMS.

Working night shift may also affect your fertility, primarily due to the affect of elevated cortisol. (A hormone commonly released in response to physical or emotional stress) Research has also indicated that working the night shift close to the day of ovulation may increase the rate of miscarriage. It also indicates that overnight shift work can cause period problems and irregular menstruation in some women. Irregular menstruation and period problems are often risk factors for fertility problems and dramatically reduce your chances of falling pregnant naturally left untreated.

Recent medical studies also show that sleep loss can increase hunger and affect your body's hormonal balance lowering your fertility potential.

Further more, with a loss of sleep, your body may not be able to metabolise carbohydrates as well, which leads to an increased storage of fats and higher levels of blood sugar. Excess blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means that your body has trouble disposing of glucose in the liver and other tissues. It is a trigger for serious health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type II diabetes. Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome lead to lowered fertility potential.

The hormonal imbalance associated with sleep deprivation also affects the way your fat cells respond to food. When you are deprived of sleep, cortisol is released at an increased level and stimulates your appetite. Making you crave foods that are not good for you and potentially sabotage your fertility efforts.

A lack of sleep goes hand in hand with a lack of energy - and a lowered libido - something you definitely don't need if you are trying to conceive!

Sleep is starting to sound pretty important now, isn't it?
