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.

Open to researchQualified 88/100P4 provenance
Primary research question

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.
