While you’re tucked in at night, your body is doing far more than resting. Deep, restorative sleep is when your hormonal system goes into full repair mode:
✨ Growth hormone helps repair tissues and build lean muscle
✨ Blood sugar resets, reducing insulin resistance and keeping cravings in check
✨ Your liver can detox, processing hormones like estrogen so they don’t build up.
✨ Thyroid hormones stabilize, setting the pace for energy and metabolism.
When you skimp on sleep (or have restless, fragmented nights), cortisol tends to spike, throwing off your delicate hormone balance. That’s why poor sleep can show up as PMS flares, irregular cycles, or even stubborn weight around your middle.
