Survey study, 2024
Does sleep quality affect PMS severity?
Yes, sleep quality is strongly linked to PMS severity. Girls with poor sleep quality had much higher risk of PMS than those with good sleep quality.
What they did
Researchers studied 76 teenage girls aged 15 to 18 at a boarding school in Indonesia. They measured sleep quality and PMS severity, while also evaluating stress and physical activity.
What they found
Poor sleep quality was strongly linked to PMS severity. Girls with poor sleep quality had 9 times higher risk of PMS compared to girls with good sleep quality, when accounting for stress and physical activity levels.
What it means for you
Sleep quality appears to be a strong factor in PMS severity. Improving sleep might reduce PMS symptoms. The study controlled for other factors like stress and exercise, suggesting sleep is independently important.
