How a woman may be affected by lack of sleep

Lack of sleep leads to higher levels of stress hormone cortisol. High cortisol results in lower estrogen and progesterone which are needed for sexual desire.
High cortisol also blocks the production in the ovaries of the small amount of testosterone a woman needs to promote a healthy libido.
Poor sleeping habits not only impacts a woman’s sexual desire, but is also known to lead to ovulation problems which can have a negative effect on fertility.
