Psychoneuroendocrinology Aspect of Sleep Pattern in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 5
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common complex condition in women associated with reproductive, metabolic and psychological features. PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in the reproductive age of women. These patients are prone to develop sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Studies over the past decade show that lifestyle can help in disease progression. Various lifestyle factors play an important role as prevalence of PCOS is rising in adolescents, particularly with the endorsement of modernized lifestyle. Sleep is an important part of health and wellness. Recent studies have showed that, a reduced sleep duration and quality sleep can have an effect on hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. The HPA axis is under regulatory control of circadian oscillators and reduced sleep duration and quality sleep can have an effect on HPA axis activity. In this study we review the quality of sleep and stress in women with PCOS.
