Irregular Menstrual Cycles have links with Delayed Sleep Pattern

Saturday, June 14–Irregular menstrual cycles and premenstrual signs in women have links with delayed phase syndrome (DSPS), a new report suggests.

When the inside clock of the body naturally gets out of sync with existing time, DSPS begins to occur and it becomes a norm to stay without sleep up late night and having problem waking early on. As outer factors like time zone change, noise, light are not reasons behind outer clock to desynchronize, these are not similar conditions such as jet lag.

The new findings suggest that irregular menstrual cycles in women with delayed sleep phase syndrome have been reported twice as many than in the women without DSPS. And the occurrences increase to three times it the women with DSPS are not using birth control.

In more than 69 percent of the women with DSPS, premenstrual issues, mood swings, cramps were reported while such occurrences were almost 17 percent the women without DSPS.

According to study author Kari Sveum, of Northwestern University in Chicago, “Though the study is preliminary, the findings suggest that women with DSPS are at increased risk for menstrual abnormality linked with circadian misalignment”, Kari further adds that more research with a larger group of subjects is needed to know the effects of circadian disruption on menstrual cycles in women with DSPS.

The results of the study will be presented this week at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Societies in Baltimore.
