Premenopausal women had the most unstable day-to-day rhythms compared to their peri- and postmenopausal counterparts. Women with higher somatic-vegetative, psychological, and urogenital symptoms showed greater sleep problems. Psychological symptoms (e.g., depression, irritability, anxiety, exhaustion) were the strongest predictors for all sleep parameters. The mechanisms underlying these associations warrant investigation.
