Does Lack of Sleep Cause Infertility?

According to a study conducted at the Boston University School of Public Health, 7 to 8 hours is necessary for male fertility. The main points of this study are as follows -

• The fertility of a man who gets less or more sleep can be impaired. If a person sleeps for 6 hours or less or more than 9 hours, it can cause infertility problems.
• It has been seen in research that 8 hours of sleep is necessary for men. If men sleep less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours, their fertility can be reduced by 42 percent. The reason for this is the effect of hormones.
• Fertility experts say that the testosterone hormone is considered very important for reproduction in men. The testosterone hormone is released more in men during sleep. In such a situation, sleep can affect the fertility of men.
• Research has also emphasized that not only sleep affects fertility, but couples' age, body mass index, couples' intercourse frequency, etc. can also affect fertility.

At the same time, research on sleep and male fertility has also been published on the site NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information). In this research, it has been assumed that the sperm quality of a man can deteriorate due to getting less or more sleep than necessary. Also, the formation of anti-sperm antibodies increases, which damages the sperm.
