The menstrual cycle is associated with changes circadian rhythms architecture. Menstruating (even without significant menstrual-related complaints) often greater disturbance during the premenstrual week compared to times of her cycle. In addition...

Sleep disturbance and sexual dysfunction are common in menopause; however, the nature of their association is unclear. The present study aimed to determine whether sleep characteristics were associated with activity satisfaction.

Research suggests that sleep disturbances are associated with elevated levels of inflammation.
