Studies are showing that testosterone levels in men are a lot more dependent on sleep quality than on age, Body Mass Index (BMI) or even age.
Testosterone levels are lower in men who don’t get adequate amounts of quality sleep.
Both LH and testosterone levels are reduced by sleep apnea sufferers. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism published a report showing that men with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) reported lower morning serum testosterone levels and decreased libido.
Poor quality sleep also makes it more difficult to build muscle tissues. So if you are a man suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) you may be surprised to know that your lack of quality sleep is severely jeopardizing your ability to build muscle after hitting the gym.
If you’re looking for an effective way to treat Sleep Apnea and/or to improve the quality of your sleep by cutting out snoring, take a look at this sleep apnea breakthrough.
What’s even more concerning is that a large percentage of sleep apnea sufferers don’t even know they have sleep apnea. If you aren’t getting a quality sleep each night, see this article for a listing of sleep apnea symptoms.
