Sleep and your hormones

Sleep is essential for balancing your hormones. During sleep, your body repairs itself and regulates hormones such as cortisol, insulin, and melatonin. When you don’t get enough sleep, your hormones become unbalanced, which can lead to increased stress levels, increased hunger, and decreased energy. This directly affects your mood, menstrual cycle, and even your weight.

What can you do for a better night's sleep?

Create a regular sleep routine

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps your body develop a natural sleep rhythm.

Avoid screens before bed

The blue light from phones and computers can disrupt the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps you fall asleep. Try to avoid screens for at least an hour before bed.

Provide a calming environment

A cool, dark and quiet bedroom can help you sleep more deeply and keep your hormones balanced.

Reduce caffeine and sugar

Caffeine and sugar can disrupt your sleep cycle and lead to hormonal fluctuations. Try to avoid caffeine after noon and choose foods that keep your blood sugar levels stable.

Foods for Better Sleep

The right diet can have a positive effect on your sleep, especially by supporting the production of melatonin. Think of foods such as cherries, walnuts and oats, which are rich in substances that stimulate melatonin production and thus contribute to a better night's sleep.

Take magnesium for relaxation

Magnesium supports restful sleep and helps prevent muscle cramps, so you can sleep deeper and longer.
