Women frequently experience sleep disturbances, particularly night-time awakenings, as they transition menopause and enter postmenopause. Sleep is essential for optimal functioning health. Persistent distressing disturbances across can negatively impact daytime productivity, increase risk mental physical health conditions. While multiple factors disturb sleep, two unique in the context of are vasomotor symptoms changing reproductive hormone environment. Vasomotor associated with contribute significantly to awakenings amount time spent awake during night. Even after accounting depressive symptoms, lower estradiol higher follicle stimulating levels, indicative menopause, disturbance, suggesting that environment may directly affect sleep.

Modern life poses many threats to good-quality sleep, challenging brain health across the lifespan. Curtailed or fragmented sleep may be particularly damaging during adolescence, when disruption by delayed chronotypes and societal pressures coincides with our brains preparing for adult via intense refinement of neural connectivity. These vulnerabilities converge on prefrontal cortex, one last regions mature a central hub limbic-cortical circuits underpinning decision-making, reward processing, social interactions emotion.

Abstract Background Abnormal amyloid β (Aβ) deposits in the brain are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Insufficient sleep duration and poor quality risk factors for developing AD. Sleep may play role Aβ regulation, but magnitude relationship between deposition remains unclear. This systematic review examines (i.e., efficiency) with later-life adults. Methods A search PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO generated 5,005 published articles. Fifteen studies met inclusion criteria qualitative syntheses; thirteen quantitative syntheses related to Aβ; nine efficiency Aβ. Results Mean ages samples ranged from 63 76 years.

Objective: To evaluate the association between sleep duration with serum estradiol concentrations and its variation by sex age in American adults. Methods: Data were analyzed for 5406 men women (≥ 20 years old) who participated cycles of National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2016, a cross‐sectional study. Total (pg/mL) was measured categorized (low, normal, high) based on NHANES protocol. Sleep classified as ≤ 6, 6–9, ≥ 9 h. Weighted multivariable adjusted multinomial logistic regression models conducted to assess these associations. Results: Our analysis revealed no significant associations among both women. Specifically, comparisons durations (≤ 6 h) reference group (6–9 across various categories showed odds ratios low high that remained statistically nonsignificant fully models. These findings suggest that, unlike previous studies linking variations other hormones, do not appear be significantly affected differences either all groups studied. Conclusion: The lack indicates may influence levels general population results underscore importance continued research into how influences hormonal balance. However, it is important note data we used are from study, which cannot establish causal relationship estradiol. Future should investigate additional factors, such genetic predispositions, lifestyle habits, environmental influences, modulate hormone levels.

Sleep deprivation significantly impairs cognitive function, which disrupts daily life. However, sex differences in these impairments are not well understood, as most preclinical studies primarily use male animals, neglecting potential between sexes. This study aims to investigate sex-specific function under sleep using reward-based operant conditioning tasks. Sprague-Dawley rats were pre-trained on a lever-press task and subsequently divided into control chronic restriction (CSR) groups. The CSR group underwent 14 days of restriction. After modeling, assessed the open field test, retraining lever-pressing task, signal discrimination extinction evaluate motor abilities, memory formation, learning, flexibility. impaired performance both sexes, with requiring more time exhibiting lower accuracy.
