What Causes Yeast Infections?
4. Lack of Sleep
Getting less sleep than needed can also raise cortisol levels, increase blood sugar levels, and lead to yeast infections. Restful sleep is necessary for the body to repair and renew itself, and when your nights are spent tossing and turning there is no chance for that to happen.
If you have recurrent infections, try making your bedroom a dark, quiet refuge during sleep time. Avoid eating or exercising during the three hours prior to bedtime. Cut out all screen time during the last hour before you sleep. Monitoring caffeine intake can also help.
