Is PMS linked to worse sleep quality in women?
Yes, women with PMS tend to have worse sleep quality. The relationship is statistically significant (p=0.005) but the connection is weak, so other factors matter too.
What they did
A cross-sectional study of 53 nursing students who filled out two questionnaires: one about PMS symptoms and one about sleep quality. Researchers used Spearman Rank test to look for links.
What they found
There is a significant relationship between PMS and sleep quality (p=0.005) with a correlation coefficient of 0.382, described as low correlation strength but in a positive direction (meaning PMS and poor sleep tend to occur together).
What it means for you
Women with PMS are likely to sleep worse. However, this is a small study of students only, and the connection is weak, meaning other things also affect sleep. We do not know if PMS causes poor sleep, poor sleep causes PMS, or if a third factor causes both.
