Sleep Problems

image-13Men and women of different ages can experience sleep problems or insomnia but low testosterone has proven to be a contributor to sleep apnea in men. Sleep apnea exhibits itself through the blockage or interruption of breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea affects approximately 9% of men and is found more prevalently in heavier men as they age. The difficulty breathing causes loud snoring and can abruptly wake up the sufferer many times during the night. Testosterone has shown to help decrease the symptoms of sleep apnea. Studies have also shown that men with normal testosterone levels are more likely to enjoy REM, slow wave or deep sleep which allows regeneration and necessary for an optimally functioning body. Men with optimal testosterone levels are shown to have better and more restful sleep than men with Low T for a variety of reasons.

Sleep Problems

Insomnia and sleep apnea from andropause can also lead to fatigue, reduced insulin sensitivity and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Repeated and prolonged bouts of insomnia will increase the body’s production of cortisol due to increased body stress. Adrenal fatigue is typically heightened as well which will aggravate fatigue and insomnia.

Central Sleep Apnea and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is generated in the central nervous system where the brain signal for breathing is delayed. Disease or injury affecting the brain stem is often the cause. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) on the other hand is caused by obstructed breathing passage ways. The breathing obstruction is typically do to restricted passages from obesity or decreased muscle tone frequent in andropause. Poor air passage through the nose and mouth can cause snoring and decreased oxygen flow that can cause frequent awakenings during the night. Men with Central Sleep Apnea rarely are able to experience deep, regenerative sleep and often suffer from fatigue. These issues are compounded if the man is in poor shape and overweight. Men with low t will more frequently suffer from CSA related obstructions.
