Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before
menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of
their difference in living style and social structure. It is defined as
faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle,
it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes
interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The
syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines
when the period starts.
1. Mineral deficiency
Calcium(1), magnesium(3) are essential for women during menstrual
cycle because they have a calming effects for the nervous system(4).
Imbalance or deficiency of calcium, magnesium and increase the
tension of the brain's cells, causing psychological complaints, including insomnia(5).
2. Vitamin B6 deficiency
Women with PMS are found to have low levels of vitamin B6(6) which is vital
to convert tytrophan(7)(8) to serotonin(9). Deficiency of vitamin B6 interferes
the production of serotonin, causing reduced the production of
melatonin, a vital hormone in promoting a good nigh sleep(11)(12).
3. Alcohol
Alcohol abuse not only damages the liver(13), but
also increases the tension of nervous system(14)(15) induced sleep disturbance(16)(17).
4. Caffeine
Caffeine may help to increase nervous system function(18)(19)(20) but it may causes
nervous tension(21)(22)and vitamin B6 deficiency(23) in induced PMS, causing unbalance of production of serotonin and
melatonin hormone(11)(12) resulting in
insomnia.
5. Low levels of melatonin
Melatonin is hormone which helps to regulate the sleep pattern(11)(12) of our
body. some women with PMS found to have low levels of melatonin(22)(24) before
period caused by low levels of serotonin and tytrophan(7)(8)(9). Intake of food
with high in serotonin and tytrophan will help to improve insomnia.
5. Insulin irregularity
Lower insulin-like growth factor-1 concentrations is associated to elevating premenstrual syndrome disorder(2). Researchers exam the inter relationship between insomnia and insulin
fluctuation found out that improving insulin balancing will aid the sleep pattern and via versa(25)(26)(27).
