Skip to content Many people notice from the age of 40 that they suddenly sleep less well. This is often linked to a hormonal imbalance. At the same time, sleep has a decisive influence on our hormones – a vicious circle that can be interrupted through natural sleep.
While we sleep, the body produces essential hormones such as melatonin, growth hormone, oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones are important for regeneration, energy, mood and metabolism.
If you don’t get enough sleep, your hormonal balance is thrown off. The typical effects are
Increased stress due to cortisol – constant lack of sleep can lead to more stress hormones.
Mood swings – less sleep affects emotional stability.
Cravings, weight gain and a slower metabolism – hormonal imbalances can make it difficult to burn fat.
Lower energy and performance – those who sleep badly feel exhausted during the day.
So sleeping better is not just a luxury – it is crucial for hormone balance, health and well-being.
To support the body in a natural way and promote the production of important hormones:
Fixed bedtimes – a regular rhythm stabilizes the hormone balance.
Reduced light in the evening – screen light can inhibit melatonin production.
Light evening meals – heavy meals put a strain on the body and disturb sleep.
Magnesium and essential oils for relaxation – essential oils, such as doTERRA’s Serenity range, can help you relax naturally and sleep better.
I myself have experienced long periods when I had to rely on sleeping pills because I couldn’t fall asleep. The Serenity softgels from doTERRA offer a natural solution that really works – tested many times myself.
They support a healthy sleep rhythm and promote hormone production at night in a natural way. So natural sleep not only provides more energy during the day, but is real self-care for body, mind and hormones.
