Sleep deprivation reduces insulin sensitivity —Lack of sleep decreases your cells’ sensitivity to insulin. One study showed that just one week of sleeping only five hours a night reduced insulin sensitivity by 24 percent. 6 Having decreased insulin sensitivity means that your body has to produce even more insulin to have the same effect. Sleep deprivation and PCOS are, therefore, linked due to inadequate sleep causing increased blood insulin levels, which leads to increased testosterone.

Sleep deprivation makes us crave sugar and other refined carbohydrates —Not only does sleep deprivation make us less sensitive to insulin, but it also makes us crave sugar and refined carbohydrates. When your body is low on energy because it hasn’t had enough sleep, it craves the next best thing: sugar! Energy drinks, chocolate bars, pastries, and pizza—we’ve all reached for one (or all!) of these when we’re sleep-deprived.
