Sleep and Menopause: Review by Starvaggi Agustina in Open Access Journal of Reproductive System and Sexual Disorders (OAJRSD) in Lupine Publishers
Sleep consists of REM and non-REM (rapid eye movement)
periods that happen cyclically. Each one lasts between 90 to 120
minutes, and in one night there are approximately 4 to 6 cycles.
During the first half of the night, non-REM cycles predominate,
which are related to physical and mental restitution. On the
contrary, in the second half of the night, REM cycles predominate,
which participate in mental and emotional functions, including
memory [1]. According to ICSD-3 (International Classification of Sleep
Disorders), sleep disturbances are classified as it shows on Figure
1 [2]. Insomnia is, by far, the most frequent condition, and this
disorder includes any disorder in the conciliation or maintenance of
sleep that produces diurnal disorders.
