"  As if we needed another reason to catch some zzz&amp;#039;s, a new study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that participants \u2014 953 healthy males being recruited for the Danish military \u2014 who reported the most sleep disturbances had 29 percent lower sperm concentration than those with normal sleep patterns.  And your husband isn&amp;#039;t the only one who needs sleep. A 2009 report showed that missing your required number of sleep hours a night can impact your ability to conceive. Sleeping is closely tied to the body&amp;#039;s hormonal system, which regulates ovulation, stress, and appetite, among other fertility-related processes.  So if you&amp;#039;re trying to conceive \u2014 or plan to in the future \u2014 make sure you both hit the hay for the National Sleep Foundation&amp;#039;s recommended seven to nine hours a night.
