What is the role of sleep in fertility?

<p>Sleep plays a crucial role in fertility as it affects the hormones that regulate reproductive function. Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality can disrupt the balance of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone, which can negatively impact ovulation and sperm production. To improve sleep habits, it is recommended to establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, and create a comfortable sleep environment. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities such as yoga or meditation can also improve sleep quality.</p>
