Have you ever noticed that certain times of the month or certain times in your life that your sleep is disrupted? Have you ever thought of hormonal fluctuations affecting your sleep?
That's what we discussed for the Weekend Wellness Hour Show this past weekend with Dr. Carol Yuan. Dr. Yuan is a Board Certified physician in pulmonary, critical care, internal medicine, and sleep and has dedicated her scientific curiosity to helping women get better sleep so they can live fully.
Dr. Yuan explained how the monthly menstrual cycle in women affects their ability to sleep soundly and can contribute to irritability and fatigue. She also discussed what happens during pregnancy and menopause.
We even touched on what happens with hormonal changes in men and how sleep apnea can impact testosterone levels. She discussed why it's important to see a sleep physician before getting testosterone supplementation for sleep apnea.
Dr. Yuan stressed the importance of discovering your sleep identity and why this is different for each person. We looked at other causes of sleep disturbances including stress, diet, and negative beliefs or thought patterns.
Dr. Yuan also gave her opinion on sleep medications and explained how they can be a tool for improving sleep on a temporary basis. We even discuss the most important aspect of getting a good night's sleep.
Dr. Yuan has treated patients with sleep disorders in both private practice and in hospital settings and is the founder of B. Hai Sleep Health, a telehealth sleep consultation service for women.
Please join us to learn about how controlling your hormones can improve your sleep!
