Doctors recommend 8 hours every night, but all people have different sleeping habits and needs, so it\u2019s great to track your sleep to see how it affects you personally.<\/p>\n<h2>How sleep factors into fertility<\/h2>\n<p>Sleep is your body\u2019s best time to recover after a long day of walking, breathing, and doing all the other incredibly involved&nbsp;activities you partake in, so it\u2019s super important that you\u2019re getting enough shut-eye to ensure that all of your systems are running smoothly. Sleep allows your body to rebuild and re-energize itself on a nightly basis, and if you\u2019re not getting enough, both your general health and your fertility may fall victim.<\/p>\n<p>Women who do not get enough sleep at night may be at a greater risk for obesity or stress, which can lead to irregular cycles and missed <a href=\"\/guide\/2\/what-is-ovulation\">ovulations<\/a>. Getting too much or too little sleep might also mean that there is an underlying general health issue at play. So whether you&#8217;re TTC, want to stay healthy as can be, or just want to make sure nothing is amiss, it\u2019s super important that you try to get the rest you need&nbsp;&#8211; and logging your ZZZs with Ovia is a fantastic way to gain insight into just how much you&#8217;re getting.<\/p>\n<h3>Tracking your sleep with Ovia<\/h3>\n<p>Ovia asks you&nbsp;to enter your sleep data, either manually or through your favorite self-tracking device, for two main reasons. Firstly, the amount of sleep you get each night can be a good indicator of your general health, particularly if you are getting way too much, or not nearly enough. Ovia will be able to tell you when you might want to make adjustments in your sleeping routine in order to better promote your fertility.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is that the amount of sleep you get in a night could greatly help Ovia with the accuracy of your cycle and fertility predictions. Some women may notice a pattern between their sleep and ovulation cycle (e.g. you tend to sleep way more a few days after ovulation) or with sleep and PMS symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s great to track your sleep data with Ovia to make your predictions more accurate and so those ZZZs can give you important&nbsp;insight into your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you need seven hours or nine hours to feel like your best self, sleep is immensely important &#8211; it&#8217;s a good indicator of your general health and can play a huge role in your fertility too.
