Chronic Sleep Insufficiency

Meaning

Chronic Sleep Insufficiency is a state of prolonged, inadequate quantity or quality of sleep that persists over an extended period, preventing the body from achieving full physical and cognitive restoration. In the hormonal health domain, this condition acts as a profound physiological stressor, significantly disrupting the delicate balance of endocrine axes. It is clinically associated with a heightened risk of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance, weight gain, and dysregulation of appetite-controlling hormones. Addressing sleep debt is a non-negotiable component of wellness.
