Does hormone replacement therapy promote better quality of sleep in women? Results from a large cross-sectional norwegian study (Hunt 3)

Introduction: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly prescribed to alleviate some of the symptoms of the menopause, which often are associated with higher frequency of sleep problems (Ameratunga, Goldin,& Hickey, 2012). The effect of use of HRT on sleep quality is, however, controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between HRT and good quality sleep in Norwegian women. Other factors, as satisfaction with life, neuroticism, frequency of night sweats and selected life style factors as smoking, frequency of exercise, and marital status (co-habiting or not) were also investigated.
