“…81 In summary, primary sleep disorders become more prevalent in older age, affecting > 53% of postmenopausal women. [103][104][105] Moreover, poor sleep in perimenopausal/postmenopausal women is associated with inflammation, 106 cardiovascular and metabolic disease, [107][108][109] and mood disorders. Understanding the evolution of sleep across a woman's life span may lead to effective therapies that affect women's health and quality of life.…”

There are many ways in which women experience sleep differently from men. Women contending with distinct sleep challenges respond differently to sleep disorders, as well as sleep deprivation and deficiency, and face particular health outcomes as a result of poor sleep. Idiosyncrasies, including changes that occur with the biological life cycles of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, make the understanding of sleep in women an important topic to study. Each phase of a woman's life, from childhood to menopause, increases the risk of sleep disturbance in unique ways that may require distinct management. Indeed, new research is unraveling novel aspects of sleep pathology in women and the fundamental role that sex hormones play in influencing sleep regulation and arousals and possibly outcomes of sleep conditions. Moreover, studies indicate that during times of hormonal change, women are at an increased risk for sleep disturbances such as poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation, as well as sleep disorders such as OSA, restless legs syndrome, and insomnia. This article reviews sleep changes in female subjects from neonatal life to menopause.

“…The higher prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity is one of the possible causes of impaired sleep quality [8]. Low sleep quality was associated with lower QoL, more depressive symptoms and an increased cardiovascular disease risk [9–11]. These interrelations underline the importance of helping individuals not only with their obesity but also their associated mental health concerns.…”

The effects of a pre-conception lifestyle intervention in women with obesity and infertility on perceived stress, mood symptoms, sleep and quality of life

Background Obesity is an increasing problem worldwide and is associated with serious health risks. Obesity not only reduces physical health, but can also negatively affect levels of perceived stress, mood symptoms, sleep quality and quality of life (QoL), which may lead to further weight gain. We have previously shown that a pre-conception lifestyle intervention reduced weight and improved physical QoL in the short term. In the current study, we assessed the effects of this intervention in women with obesity and infertility on perceived stress, mood symptoms, sleep quality and QoL five years after randomization. Methods and findings We followed women who participated in the LIFEstyle study. This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing a six-month lifestyle intervention to improve diet and increase physical activity followed by infertility treatment, versus prompt infertility treatment. Participants were 577 women with infertility between 18 and 39 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 29 kg/m 2 . For the current study we measured perceived stress, mood symptoms, sleep quality and QoL in 178 women five years after randomization. T-tests and linear regression models were used to assess differences between the intervention and control groups. Five years after randomization, no differences were observed for perceived stress, mood symptoms, sleep quality and QoL between the intervention (n = 84) and control groups (n = 94). There was selective participation: women who did not participate in the follow-up had lower baseline mental QoL, and benefitted more from the intervention in terms of improved physical QoL during the original LIFEstyle intervention. Conclusions We found no evidence that a pre-conception lifestyle intervention improved female well-being five years after randomization.

“…As lifestyle-related factors such as stress [10], smoking [11], caffeine [12], and sleeping quality [13] can produce cardiovascular changes, the present study considered them and revealed no statistically significant. Although the random distribution of these factors was relatively similar amongst both groups (committed and uncommitted), there were no apparent variations.…”
