🌙 Why Sleep is Important in PCOD/PCOS 1. 🧠 Hormonal Balance Poor sleep disturbs insulin, cortisol, and reproductive hormones, worsening PCOS symptoms. 2. ⚖️ Weight Management Sleep deprivation increases hunger hormones (ghrelin) and reduces satiety (leptin) → more cravings, weight gain. 3. 💊 Improves Insulin Sensitivity Good sleep helps control blood sugar and insulin levels, key in managing PCOD. 4. 🩸 Reduces Inflammation Chronic lack of sleep increases inflammatory markers, worsening acne, bloating, and fatigue. 5. 😰 Reduces Stress & Mood Swings Quality sleep lowers cortisol and helps prevent anxiety, depression, and mood irritability — common in PCOD. 6. 🥚 Supports Ovulation & Fertility Sleep influences the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, important for regular periods and ovulation. #pcos #pcod #drdivya #drdivyat #pcostips #drdivyaspcostips #sleep #importanceof sleep
