1. Leuprolide may disrupt sleep by affecting hormone levels like testosterone and estrogen, which are known to modulate sleep architecture and mood.
2. Treatment with leuprolide can lead to sleep disturbances due to its impact on LH and FSH levels which in turn affect the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
Leuprolide may impair sleep by influencing hormone levels, particularly testosterone, which affects sleep regulatory mechanisms in the brain.
