Sleep and Women ’s Health Across the Lifespan

In women, sleep interacts with reproductive health, and sleep disorders can emerge within the context of reproductive stages. Substantial research has occurred since the last Sleep Medicine Clinics issue about sleep in women, guest edited by Dr  Helen Driver in 2008.1 However, evident from the reviews in this current issue, the field of sleep and women’s health remains an active and complex area with many unanswered questions. We are pleased to offer this broad series of reviews, showing fundamental relationships between sleep and repro ductive stages, as well as emerging knowledge about women’s sleep in special populations (military) and in the context of traumatic stress exposure.
