Late-night screen time is killing your melatonin production. Here’s how to shield yourself and reclaim deep sleep.
As men age, hormone levels naturally decline — but poor sleep accelerates this process. Sleep is when your body rebuilds, recovers, and regulates hormones like testosterone.
Here’s how sleep affects your testosterone:
- Most testosterone is released during deep sleep (especially stages 3 & 4).
- Less than 5 hours of sleep can slash testosterone by 10–15% the next day.
- Interrupted or fragmented sleep impacts recovery and libido.
To fix this, optimize your sleep schedule:
- Go to bed and wake up at consistent times — even on weekends.
- Eliminate screens 1 hour before bed and use blue light filters.
- Make your room cool, dark, and quiet — ideal sleep conditions.
