How Sleep and Hormones Are Connected (And What to Do If You’re Not Sleeping Well)

Jul 3

Tossing and turning all night? Waking up at 3 a.m. wide awake? 😴
If your sleep has gone off track, your hormones might be the culprit.

At Coastal Health & Vitality, we see this connection all the time—and we help clients in Richmond Hill, GA restore deep, restful sleep by rebalancing their hormones.

Which Hormones Affect Sleep?

🌙 Cortisol

This “stress hormone” should be high in the morning and low at night. But if it’s too high at bedtime, it can make you feel wired when you should be winding down.

🌙 Melatonin

This hormone tells your body it’s time to sleep. But it’s easily disrupted by stress, screen time, and hormonal imbalances—especially during perimenopause and menopause.

🌙 Progesterone & Estrogen

These two hormones help regulate sleep cycles. When they drop (especially in your 40s and 50s), many women experience insomnia or night sweats.

🌙 Testosterone

Low testosterone in men (and women) can lead to poor sleep quality, reduced deep sleep, and increased waking throughout the night.

Signs Your Sleep Trouble May Be Hormonal:

You’re wide awake at night but exhausted during the day
You wake up drenched in sweat
You have trouble falling asleep even when tired
Sleep got worse with age or after childbirth
Sleep meds or supplements aren’t helping
