Sleep is one of the most important tools for women’s health.
When a woman sleeps well, the body helps balance hormones such as estrogen,
progesterone, cortisol, and melatonin.
Estrogen and progesterone help control menstrual cycles and fertility. Cortisol is the
body’s stress hormone. Melatonin helps control sleep and the body’s internal clock.
When sleep is poor, these hormones may not stay balanced. This can affect mood,
energy, focus, and overall wellness.
Good sleep habits may help support healthy hormone rhythms.
Simple ways to support sleep include:
• Going to bed at the same time each night
• Keeping the bedroom dark and cool
• Reducing bright light before bed
• Using calming sleep tools or routines
These habits may help support the body’s natural hormone cycles.
