Patients ask me whether their hormones are wrecking their sleep or their sleep is wrecking their hormones. The honest answer: usually both, in a loop. Low testosterone fragments sleep. An off thyroid can leave you wired at midnight and dead at noon. Elevated evening cortisol keeps the brain on patrol. And every short night pushes those same hormones further out of tune β the loop feeds itself. The good news is that loops run both directions. Fix the biggest driver and the rest starts correcting with it. Step one is finding out which driver is yours. π
