Sleep also supports the optimal functioning of your reproductive system.
In one study, a group of young males was allowed to sleep for only five hours for one week. The researchers found a significant drop in their testosterone compared to when they were fully rested. In fact, the researchers concluded that the hormonal blunting effect is so large that it effectively "ages" a man by 10 to 15 years!
Inadequate sleep also affects the reproductive system of women. In a report that brought together findings from studies over the past forty years of more than 100,000 employed women, those working irregular night-time hours and had poor-quality sleep had a 33% higher rate of abnormal menstrual cycles than those working regular daytime hours.
