Changes in the macrostructure of sleep occurring after menopause
FY 2022-23
Summary
Our CIHR-funded research (Sex and Gender in Health Research, Grant no. 201610PJT-376205) aims to understand changes in sleep and circadian rhythms of women after menopause. Our work is relevant to the CSS and ICRH mandates since our studies seek to better understanding the mechanisms by which sleep is affected in postmenopausal women and that may lead to improve treatments, health outcomes, and quality of life of Canadian women. In our recent publication, we found relevant changes in the circadian component of sleep and alertness that might contribute to the sleeping difficulties of postmenopausal women. This is especially important since up to 60% of women after menopause present sleep difficulties, representing a common epidemiological problem.
