Fertility and Sleep – what you need to know with Fertility Acupuncturist Louise Jeffrey
Are you getting enough sleep for your fertility?
According to the National Sleep Foundation, around 70% of people in developed countries don’t get adequate sleep. And when you’re trying to conceive, preparing for IVF, or supporting your hormones, that matters more than most people realise.
Sleep is not just about feeling rested.
It plays a vital role in regulating reproductive hormones. The quality and quantity of your sleep can influence ovulation, sperm production, immune function, weight regulation, mood, stress resilience, stamina and long-term health.
When sleep is disrupted, the hormonal signals that guide your cycle can also be affected.
In this video, Fertility Acupuncturist Louise Jeffrey explains:
• How sleep impacts ovulation and sperm health
• Why stress and cortisol patterns matter
• Practical ways to improve sleep quality
• How acupuncture may assist with nervous system regulation
If you’re navigating fertility challenges, small changes in sleep can make a meaningful difference over time.
