Objective: This study aims to check the impacts of sleep deprivation on hormonal levels such as cortisol, melatonin, estrogen, and progesterone and their role on women’s health.
Method: In this cross-sectional study 120 women within the age group of 25 to 45 years from West Bengal were considered. Two groups were created, the first consisted of women who slept for 7 - 9 hours/night and the second group had women with sleep deprivation (less than 6 hours/night). Blood samples were collected to perform tests of hormonal levels (cortisol, melatonin, estrogen, progesterone). The sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Using t-tests and regression models of analysis, the correlation between sleep deprivation and hormonal imbalances was studied.
