Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether self-reported night sweats (NS) and hot flashes (HF) were differentially associated with sleep problems, assessed by "trouble sleeping" on a symptom checklist and the Sleep Habits Questionnaire (SHQ), or with the degree of daytime fatigue, assessed by "lack of energy" on a symptom checklist and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).

Methods: Data were drawn from a study of midlife women aged 40-60 in Doha, Qatar (N=841). Participants were categorized as having (1) neither HF nor NS, (2) only HF, (3) only NS, or (4) both HF and NS. Bivariate analyses using χ2 and ANOVA were conducted, followed by logistic and linear regression analyses.

Results: Women with both HF and NS scored significantly higher on the SHQ than those with neither HF nor NS (16.3 vs. 12.6, P<0.001). In contrast, mean ESS did not differ by HF/NS category. Among women with only NS, the odds of reporting trouble sleeping were almost twice as high (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.11-2.84), and the odds of reporting lack of energy were more than two times higher (adjusted OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.48-4.68), compared with women reporting neither HF nor NS, after controlling for menopausal status, age, depressed mood, aches/stiffness in joints, education, and nationality. Women reporting only HF did not differ significantly from those reporting neither HF nor NS in relation to lack of energy or trouble sleeping.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that NS are more disruptive to women's sleep and daytime fatigue than are HF.

潮热和盗汗与睡眠困难和白天嗜睡有关。

目的：本研究的目的是确定自我报告的盗汗（NS）和潮热（HF）是否与睡眠问题（通过症状检查表和睡眠习惯问卷（SHQ）中的“睡眠困难”进行评估）或与白天疲劳程度（通过症状检查表和Epworth嗜睡量表（ESS）中的“缺乏能量”进行评估）之间存在差异。方法：数据来自卡塔尔多哈40-60岁的中年女性（N=841）。参与者被分类为(1)既没有HF也没有NS，(2)只有HF，(3)只有NS，或(4)同时有HF和NS。采用χ2和方差分析进行双变量分析，然后进行logistic和线性回归分析。结果：合并HF和NS的女性在SHQ上的得分明显高于未合并HF和NS的女性（16.3比12.6,p）。结论：这些发现表明，NS比HF对女性睡眠和日间疲劳的破坏性更大。

期刊介绍： Menopause, published monthly, provides a forum for new research, applied basic science, and clinical guidelines on all aspects of menopause. The scope and usefulness of the journal extend beyond gynecology, encompassing many varied biomedical areas, including internal medicine, family practice, medical subspecialties such as cardiology and geriatrics, epidemiology, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and pharmacology. This forum is essential to help integrate these areas, highlight needs for future research, and enhance health care.
