The menstrual cycle has long been associated with sleep. Emerging research is uncovering more of a bidirectional relationship with sleep. In this episode we will:

• Provide an overview of the menstrual cycle
• Evaluate the reciprocity of the relationship between sleep and the menstrual cycle
• Discuss the roles of estrogen and progesterone in the cycle and how their relationships might affect sleep
• Review the 4 stages of the menstrual cycle and how they often impact sleep
• Look at interventions related to personal knowledge of your own menstrual cycle
