The association between sleep and the menstrual cycle has been scarcely studied. This study aimed to investigate the association between dream recall and content and the menstrual cycle among a large sample of young women. To this aim, 944 women were asked about their day of menstrual cycle, whether they remembered the previous night's dreams and if they did so to describe the dream content as pleasant or unpleasant. A total of 378 women recalled the previous nights' dreams, with 199 reporting pleasant dream affect/content and 179 reporting unpleasant dream content. In women who recalled their dreams, there was an association of pleasant dream content with the luteal phase ( = 0.038). In conclusion, in women, the hormonal milieu of the luteal phase may influence dream content.
睡眠与月经周期之间的关联鲜有研究。本研究旨在调查大量年轻女性样本中梦的回忆及内容与月经周期之间的关联。为此,向944名女性询问了她们月经周期的日期、是否记得前一晚的梦,若记得则描述梦的内容是愉快还是不愉快。共有378名女性回忆起了前一晚的梦,其中199人报告梦的情感/内容愉快,179人报告梦的内容不愉快。在回忆起梦的女性中,愉快的梦的内容与黄体期有关联( = 0.038)。总之,在女性中,黄体期的激素环境可能会影响梦的内容。
