Sleep Hygiene Impact

Meaning

Sleep hygiene impact quantifies the measurable effect of an individual’s daily sleep-related behaviors and environmental factors on the overall quality, duration, and architecture of their sleep, which in turn profoundly influences the cyclical release of key metabolic and endocrine hormones. Poor hygiene, such as irregular sleep timing or excessive evening blue light exposure, can destabilize the precise nocturnal secretion of growth hormone, prolactin, and the critical suppression of cortisol. This impact is a critical modifiable factor in hormonal health.
