Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the sleep quality and quality of life of the study population.

Detailed description

Natural menopause can be defined as the cessation of menses for twelve sequential months without physiological or pathologic causes, referring to the end of a woman's reproductive capability. There is considerable variation in reporting of menopausal symptoms by women all over the world in different studies. The most common psychological symptoms was physical, mental exhaustion and Sleep disturbances. Sleep quality is affected poorly during the menopausal transition, and 40-60% of menopausal women are suffering from sleep disturbances. The causes for sleep disorders in postmenopausal women can be divided broadly into psychological and physical. However, changes in sleep patterns after menopause are frequently the result of physical factors. Sleep quality and its effect on quality of life among postmenopausal women is vital topic and the previous Literatures in this topic are deficient. So, there is a need to study sleep quality and quality of life particularly in our population where women are less aware about menopausal symptoms.
