Trouble Sleeping
All of the abovementioned symptoms can make it difficult for the patient to relax and sleep well at night. As a result, women suffering from extreme PMS symptoms often develop sleeping disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea. In addition, experts believe that the slight rise (almost one degree) in the body’s core temperature during the period impairs women’s ability to sleep comfortably.
A recent study shows that poorer sleep quality is observed among women before and during their periods. The hormonal changes, physical discomfort, and emotional symptoms are all responsible for causing this problem. The lack of sleep is also why women feel tired, exhausted, and fatigued during and after their periods.
