Women of all ages have been found to have a higher rate of sleep disturbances than men. Attempts to determine whether hormonal changes marking their reproductive lives render women more vulnerable to emotional stress and to concomitant sleep disturbances are the focus of this article. Investigations of sleep patterns and sleep-related experiences that occur in connection with the menstrual cycle (normal menstrual cycle and premenstrual syndrome) and are associated with hormonal abnormalities (amenorrhea) and changes in hormonal status (pregnancy and menopause) are reviewed. Methodological problems are discussed and areas of future research are proposed. It is suggested that the triad of sleep, endocrine changes, and mood should be more systematically investigated.
研究发现，所有年龄段的女性睡眠障碍发生率均高于男性。本文重点探讨了女性在生殖生活中出现的激素变化是否会使她们更容易受到情绪压力以及随之而来的睡眠障碍影响。文章回顾了与月经周期（正常月经周期和经前综合征）相关、与激素异常（闭经）以及激素状态变化（怀孕和更年期）相关的睡眠模式和睡眠相关经历的研究。文中讨论了方法学问题，并提出了未来的研究方向。建议应更系统地研究睡眠、内分泌变化和情绪这三者之间的关系。
