Sleep disorders in women remain underrecognized and underdiagnosed mainly because of gender bias in researching and characterizing sleep disorders in women. Symptoms of common sleep disorders are frequently missed in the general female population and are expected to be further overlooked because of overlapping symptoms in women with neurologic disorders. Given the bidirectional relationship with sleep and neurologic disorders, it remains critical to be aware of the presentation and impact of sleep disorders in this patient population. This article reviews available data on sleep disorders in women with neurologic disorders and discusses their distinctive features.
女性睡眠障碍主要由于在研究和描述女性睡眠障碍方面存在性别偏见而未被充分认识和诊断。常见睡眠障碍的症状在普通女性人群中经常被忽视,并且由于神经系统疾病女性的症状重叠,预计这些症状会进一步被忽视。鉴于睡眠与神经系统疾病之间存在双向关系,因此仍然必须意识到该患者人群中睡眠障碍的表现和影响。本文综述了有关神经系统疾病女性睡眠障碍的现有数据,并讨论了其特征。
