Abstract:The study was conducted to check the prevalence and associated factors among pregnancy. It was an observational cross sectional study.102 pregnant females was carefully chosen for the study. Different private and Govt. hospital of Karachi. Each participant was asked to stand in a quiet room Face to face interview was conducted. Consent form was given to females who were willing to participate. Physical investigation was done.The prevalence is 32 % in France. The prevalence of Brazil is 13.5%. In Japan the prevalence is 19.9%Research confirmed high prevalence of RLS in third trimester there is less awareness on RLS in females.RLS can have adverse effect in pregnant females as it may persuade sleep complaint .The exact cause of RLS is unknown .The factors include dietary factors ,hormonal factors, physiological changes and genetic factor during pregnancy. Restless Legs Syndrome was 47.1% with IRLS Scores between 21 -30, Prevalence of Very Severe Restless Legs Syndrome was 46.1% with IRLS Scores between 31 -40, there were none of the sample found at mild stage who had IRLS scores between 1 -10.the outcomes of Epworth Sleepiness scale, it was found that 64.7% of the females her Normal ESS Score of between 0 -10, so the overall prevalence of Epworth Sleepiness in our data was 35.3%. The prevalence of Mild Epworth sleepiness was 29.4% with ESS scores between 11 -14, prevalence of moderate Epworth Sleepiness was 5.9% with ESS Scores between 15 -18, and none of the sample was found to be at severe stage of Epworth sleepiness, i.e. a ESS Scores between 19 -24.

“…The MT [1] and MT [2] melatonergic receptor ramelteon [62,63] was found to be effective in increasing total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE), as well as in reducing sleep onset latency (SOL) in insomnia patients [64]. The melatonergic antidepressant agomelatine, displaying potent MT [1] and MT [2] melatonergic agonism and relatively weak serotonin 5HT(2C) receptor antagonism [65,66], was found effective in the treatment of insomnia comorbid with depression [67–77]. Other melatonergic compounds are currently under development [71].…”

One of the core symptoms of the menopausal transition is sleep disturbance. Peri-menopausal women often complain of difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep with frequent nocturnal and early morning awakenings. Factors that may play a role in this type of insomnia include vasomotor symptoms, changing reproductive hormone levels, circadian rhythm abnormalities, mood disorders, coexistent medical conditions, and lifestyle. Other common sleep problems in this age group, such as obstructive sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome, can also worsen the sleep quality. Exogenous melatonin use reportedly induces drowsiness and sleep and may ameliorate sleep disturbances, including the nocturnal awakenings associated with old age and the menopausal transition. Recently, more potent melatonin analogs (selective melatonin-1 (MT1) and melatonin-2 (MT2) receptor agonists) with prolonged effects and slow-release melatonin preparations have been developed. They were found effective in increasing total sleep time and sleep efficiency as well as in reducing sleep latency in insomnia patients. The purpose of this review is to give an overview on the changes in hormonal status to sleep problems among menopausal and postmenopausal women.

“…The levels of estrogens rise and fall almost simultaneously with the development of RLS during pregnancy, and there are studies showing that women with RLS have higher serum concentrations of estrogen than women without RLS (3), but there are also contradicting data (67). There are studies showing an association between RLS and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as increased rates of preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, and depressed mood, but data are limited (69)(70)(71). Recently a committee from the International RLS Study Group has published clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of RLS during pregnancy and lactation (72).…”
