PCOS e qualità del sonno: come il riposo influenza i tuoi ormoni

Quality sleep is an often overlooked but crucial part of PCOS management. Your sleep quality directly impacts your hormone balance.

Sleep and Insulin Resistance

Just one night of poor sleep can decrease the body's insulin sensitivity by up to 30%. This leads to increased sugar cravings and makes weight loss much harder.

Common Sleep Issues in PCOS

• Sleep Apnea (Especially in women with excess weight)
• Difficulty falling asleep (Due to high cortisol or stress)
• Excessive daytime sleepiness

Tips to Improve Sleep Quality

Step away from screens at least an hour before bed. Ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Eating foods rich in magnesium or drinking chamomile tea before bed can help you fall asleep faster.
