Androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness (MPB) as it’s commonly known is a medical condition and the main reason behind hair loss in men. Approximately 25 percent of men who suffer from MPB begin losing their hair before age 21. Hair loss and balding also occur in women. Genetics are a huge factor in an individual’s susceptibility to hair loss. Beyond genetics, something that every individual can monitor and has the ability to change is the amount of sleep they are getting each night.

One of the primary causes of hair loss is sleep deprivation, or lack of sleep. In the modern fast-paced world, sleep is often overlooked or neglected. Experts recommend a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night. Many people find fitting those eight hours in around their busy schedules of work, rest and relaxation. This can have adverse effects on your health, one of which is lead to an increase in stress. Stress is common and a large amount of stress can lead to insomnia. Leading hair experts have established a link between sleep deprivation and hair loss.

Sleep is absolutely essential for our body. Each night, when you sleep, your body recharges itself with electrolytes and replenishes its energy. If this time is cut short, this can negatively impact the body’s immune system. The body starts to get weak. A consistent lack of sleep can prevent the body from absorbing the nutrients necessary to stay healthy. Due to a lack of nutrients, the roots of hair can become weak. Weakened hair follicles allow the hair to fall out easily.

What to Do If You're Having Trouble Sleeping at Night:

Millions of people have trouble getting enough sleep. Take comfort knowing you aren’t alone. There are some easy lifestyle changes that are recommended to those who can’t wind down at the end of a hard day, the first of which is turning the lights down. Try to stay clear from watching TV, using a laptop, tablet or phone or any bright back lit screen before heading off to sleep. This will help your brain relax. Avoid using stimulants such as caffeine commonly found in drinks like tea, coffee or soda. In addition, some people find it difficult to sleep if they’ve eaten a large meal just before heading off to bed. Working long hours late at night can also be problematic in regards to sleeping patterns. This will inhibit your ability to sleep shortly after your mind has been fairly active.
