The relationship between cortisol and sleep architecture in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women

Objectives: Women report worse sleep quality during and after the menopausal transition than in premenopause, but null or minimal alterations in sleep architecture have been found. Concentrations of cortisol seem to increase temporally during perimenopause. However, the associations between cortisol and sleep architecture in women around the menopausal transition have not been examined in detail to date.
