Sleep problems and testosterone levels might seem like an odd coupling, but the two health issues just may be related. And working on one might help the other.

Sleep deprivation has been linked by researchers to lower testosterone levels, says endocrinologist Michael Irwig, MD, an associate professor of medicine and director of the Andrology Center at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences in Washington, D.C.

Peak testosterone production occurs during your sleep hours, according to a review of testosterone and sleep research published in the February 2012 issue of the journal Sleep. So if you're losing sleep, you're also depriving yourself of testosterone production time.

Cut back on video games. The more you game, the lower quality of sleep you get, according to research published in the Journal of Sleep Research in April 2015. The researchers determined that each hour of gaming during the day pushes bedtime back by 6.9 minutes.

See a doctor about sleep problems.Sleep apnea is among the treatable conditions that could be interrupting your sleep. Talk with your doctor about whether you should be tested for this condition.
