“…Results of the subgroup analysis in which participants with concerns regarding sanitary products had less deep sleep during menses and the results of a previous study 18 in which impairments of sleep quality in menses were prominent in symptomatic participants lead to the consideration of interventions to relieve symptoms or the use of individually fit sanitary products. In a randomized crossover trial comparing objective sleep parameters between nights with sanitary pads designed for night use and nights with those designed for day use, 29 however, no differences were found in any objective sleep parameters between use of those two sanitary pads. Nevertheless, the effects of use of other sanitary products (other types of pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, etc.)…”

Study Objectives: Sleep is an important recovery period for athletes. Women, including athletes, have reported sleep disturbances around menses. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the changes in objective sleep parameters in the nights during menses and in the midfollicular phase of the menstrual cycle of young female athletes. Methods: Female collegiate athletes with regular menstrual cycles were recruited. The participants underwent home electroencephalogram monitoring during the first and second nights after the onset of menses (M1 and M2, respectively) and during one night between the 7th and the 10th night after menses onset (midfollicular phase). Results: Data from 45 athletes were analyzed. The total sleep time was significantly reduced, and sleep onset latency was significantly prolonged in M2 compared with those in the night during the midfollicular phase. Sleep efficiency was significantly reduced in M1 compared with that in the night during the midfollicular phase. Changes in the percentage of deep sleep across menstrual cycles differed among the participants with and without menstrual symptoms or concerns for sanitary products; moreover, such participants spent a lower percentage of time in deep sleep in M1 compared with the other nights. Conclusions: Collegiate female athletes with regular menstrual cycles are likely to have trouble falling asleep, tend to sleep less, and when concerned about sanitary products, have less deep sleep during menses. Even in young female athletes with regular menstrual cycles, sleep can be disturbed during menses. Interventions to restore or improve sleep should be considered.

Research has been in order to analyze whether menstrual factors of students is influential on sleep quality. 560 students of School of Health compose the population of the research. A form prepared to determine the socio-demographic and for menstrual cycle characteristics of students and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The number, percentage distribution and average of descriptive data associated with the students has been taken. It has been analyzed with correlation and t test. It has been designated that 78.4% of them have regular menstruation. The total PSQI score average of the students is 6.2±3.0. While it has been found out that there is a positive relationship between the menstruation incidence of the participants and PSQI. There hasn't been found a significant relationship bleeding period and phases of menstruations. It has been determined that sleep quality of the participants is poor and menstrual cycle aspects of them effect sleep quality in a negative way.

Abstract: There was no significant difference in sleep quality between the follicular phase and the menstrual period; in addition, the use of different absorbent pads over consecutive nights during the same menstrual cycle was not associated with changes in sleep.
