Brief Answer:
Can be sometimes related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

PCOD is sometimes related to sleeping problem and there are some research saying that it causes disturbance in melatonin ( sleep hormone) of the body. You should take medicines for your PCOD like OCpills and Tablet Metformin.

I would also like you to observe a few days and if you are still having sleeping problems then to get your thyroid hormones also tested as that can cause sleeping problems.

Also are you recently having any stress and do you snore at night as they also are causes of sleeping problems.

Feel free to consult me directly

Brief Answer:
Take Restyl 1 tablet

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

If you are having stress then your sleeping problems are due to that and not menses.

I will advice you to take less stress and Tablet Restyl (only 1 tablet at night) to prevent sleeping irregularities.

Make sure you do not take more than 1 tablet per night.

Regards,

Dr. Som MD
