Introduction[edit | edit source]
Sleep is an important human function. It plays a vital role in ensuring physical and mental well-being of a person. Beyond just providing rest, quality sleep is associated to the health of various body systems such as, cardiovascular health, renal function, immunity, and hormonal balance. [1][2]
In people who menstruate, it has been established that sleep and hormones have an intricate relationship. Hormonal fluctuations seen in the various phases of the menstrual cycle affect sleep and circadian rhythms. Additionally, it has also been well documented that poor sleep quality can disrupt hormonal health and correlate with menstrual disturbances. [3][4]
