Yes, PCOS can cause sleep disturbances. Many women with PCOS experience sleep problems, such as:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
- Sleep apnea: A condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep.
- Restless legs syndrome: A condition that causes an irresistible urge to move the legs, often at night.
- Night sweats: Waking up drenched in sweat.
These sleep disturbances can contribute to fatigue, mood swings, and other health problems. If you’re experiencing sleep problems, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider. They can help you identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
