Sleep problems in women can manifest at various stages of their life cycle. Both subjective and objective data indicate that women are at an increased risk of experiencing different types of sleeping problems during different life stages.[1][2][3][4][5] Factors such as hormonal changes, aging, psycho-social aspects, physical and psychological conditions, and the presence of sleeping disorders can disrupt women's sleep.[1][2][3][4][5] Research supports the presence of disturbed sleep during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum period, and menopausal transition.[1][2][3][4][5] The relationship between sleep and women's psychological well-being suggests that the underlying causes of sleep disturbances are often multi-factorial throughout a woman's lifespan.[1][2][3][4][5]
