Abstract

Sleep is crucial for optimal well-being, and sex differences in sleep quality have significant implications for women’s health. We review the current literature on sex differences in sleep, such as differences in objective and subjective sleep measures and their relationship with aging. We then discuss the convincing evidence for the role of ovarian hormones in regulating female sleep, and survey how these hormones act on a multitude of brain regions and neurochemicals to impact sleep. Lastly, we identify several important areas in need of future research to narrow the knowledge gap and improve the health of women and other understudied populations.

Statistics

FIGURE 1 Female hormonal transitions correspond with increased risk for sleep disorders and changes in sleep architecture. The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause all increase prevalence of nocturnal awakenings. The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is associated with increased risk for insomnia. Pregnancy, particularly the third trimester, increases risk of RLS and sleep apnea. The menopausal transition is associated with heightened prevalence of insomnia and SDB, particularly in postmenopause. Abbreviations: WASO, wake after sleep onset; REM, rapid-eye-movement sleep; NREM, non-rapid-eye-movement sleep; PMS, premenstrual syndrome; RLS, restless legs syndrome.CC BY · PubMed Central

FIGURE 2 Female sex hormones act on neural regions associated with sleep and wakefulness to promote arousal and suppress sleep. Estradiol and progesterone suppress neural transmission of somnogens in the VLPO, weakening the sleep drive. The hormones also increase transmission of arousal-promoting substances in the LH, TMN, LC, as well as other regions not pictured to strengthen the arousal drive. Abbreviations: VLPO, ventrolateral preoptic nucleus; L-PGDS, lipocalin-type prostaglandin synthase; PGD2, prostaglandin H2; A2A, adenosine 2A receptor; LC, locus coeruleus; NE, norepinephrine; TMN, tuberomammillary nucleus; LH, lateral hypothalamus; HcrtR1, hypocretin receptor 1; REM, rapid-eye movement sleep; NREM; non-rapid-eye movement sleep.CC BY · PubMed Central

FIGURE 3 Female sex hormones act on adjacent mechanisms to promote wake over sleep. Estradiol and progesterone modulate neurochemical transmission and morphology of synapses and glia. Hormone response elements such as estrogen response elements (EREs) directly impact gene expression, possibly regulating clock genes. Estradiol and progesterone also impact nest building and circadian rhythms, resulting in longer duration of wake than sleep.CC BY · PubMed Central

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
