Andropause Sleep Issues

Meaning

These refer to the spectrum of sleep disturbances, including insomnia, fragmented sleep, and reduced sleep efficiency, that are frequently observed in aging males experiencing a decline in androgen levels, a condition colloquially termed andropause or late-onset hypogonadism. The compromised sleep architecture is often a significant component of the overall symptom complex associated with age-related hormonal shifts. Clinicians recognize these issues as interconnected with decreased quality of life, impaired cognitive function, and metabolic health.
