Sleep, Hormones, and Circadian Rhythms throughout the Menstrual Cycle in Healthy Women and Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Shechter A, Boivin DB. Int J Endocrinol. 2010;2010:259345. Epub 2010 Jan 18. PMID: 20145718 | PMC2817387

  • relationship exists between the sleep-wake cycle and hormone secretion
  • melatonin, cortisol, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin (PRL), vary across the 24-hour day and are highly regulated by the circadian and sleep-wake cycles.
  • sleep complaints commonly occur during the postovulatory luteal phase (LP) in healthy women
  • premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) - a DSM-IV classified menstrual cycle-related mood disorder
