A Brief Overview on Sleep Health and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

By: Robyn Woidtke, RN, RPSGT

Why should we care about and recognize polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in sleep health?  This “very” brief overview is aimed to answer some of those questions.  Additionally, an objective would be to create an interest in reaching out to our gynecological colleagues with regards to this issue, if same is not already being done. There is a clinical recognition gap–that woman with PCOS are at a higher risk of sleep problems and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which provides the sleep community with an opportunity improve this clinical disparity.
