Abstract:
Sleep is crucial to human bodily function, pathological sleep patterns including extremes of sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and shift work are closely linked to menstrual irregularity. Our goal in this review is to evaluate the literature on the relationship between sleep patterns and irregular menstrual cycles in females and possibly to lay out the future research that needs to be done to better understand this issue in the Jordanian population. A literature search was performed using the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Several studies stated that inadequate sleep had a negative effect on the menstrual cycle of premenopausal women. This review shines a light on the influence of sleep disturbance on the incidence of menstrual problems and emphasizes the importance of regular sleep on the health of premenopausal women.
