Severalauthoritative studies have revealed the correlation between sleep duration and fertility. For example, a paper published in the journal Fertility and Sterility pointed out that for women who sleep less than 6 hours a day, the American Association of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) also clearly recommends that women planning to get pregnant should maintain a regular sleep of 7-9 hours a day, especially during the induction of ovulation. Special attention should be paid to stable work and rest during the period.
Howdoes lack of sleep affect the success rate of IVF?
First, lack of sleep can directly interfere with a woman's endocrine system.
Melatonin and cortisol are important hormones that regulate reproductive function. The former promotes follicular development, while the latter is associated with stress management. Staying up late for a long time will lead to a decrease in melatonin secretion, which in turn affects the maturity of oocytes; at the same time, elevated cortisol levels may inhibit the normal secretion of estrogen and progesterone, reduce the receptivity of the endometrium, and make embryo implantation more difficult.
