Abstract in brief

  • Women with ovulatory menstrual cycles experience a circadian rhythm that overlaps with their menstrual cycle, and menstrual events can also influence these circadian rhythms.
  • The review discusses how circadian rhythms in temperature, hormone levels (like melatonin and cortisol), and sleep patterns vary across different phases of the menstrual cycle, with notable changes such as higher body temperature in the luteal phase and fluctuations in sleep quality and REM sleep.
  • Disruption of circadian rhythms, such as through shiftwork or mood disturbances linked to the menstrual cycle, can lead to menstrual irregularities, altered hormone rhythms, and increased health risks like breast cancer, highlighting the importance of biological rhythms in women’s health.]

Women's periods are linked to their body's internal clock. When women have changes in their daily schedule, like working different shifts, it can mess up their periods and may increase their risk of breast cancer. https://t.co/K6NSoaQdWt
