Sleep is also very important for men’s health. During sleep, the body supports healthy levels of hormones such as testosterone, cortisol, and melatonin. Testosterone helps support energy, muscle health, mood, and overall vitality. Cortisol helps the body respond to stress. Melatonin helps regulate the sleep cycle. When sleep is short or disrupted, testosterone levels may drop and stress hormones may increase. Healthy sleep habits can help support hormone balance.
Helpful habits include:
• Keeping a consistent sleep schedule
• Reducing screen time before bed
• Creating a quiet sleep environment
• Using tools that help the body relax before sleep
