Physiological and Psychological Sleep Variations Across the Menstrual Cycle in Healthy Young Women
This pilot study protocol investigates the interaction between hormonal fluctuations and sleep-related outcomes using wearable technology and biochemical monitoring in healthy premenopausal women.
How do hormonal transitions across the menstrual cycle influence objective and subjective sleep quality in healthy women?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
Systematic evidence linking specific hormonal phases to sleep architecture and psychological well-being remains limited in healthy populations.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Enhances understanding of female-specific health markers, potentially informing personalized sleep hygiene and wellness interventions.
