Abstract

This article examines the relationship between menstruation-related challenges, sleep patterns, and internalizing symptoms such as sadness and anxiety in adolescent females. Analyzing data from 2,814 postmenarcheal adolescents in the ABCD Study®, the research found that menstrual irregularities, premenstrual symptoms, longer menstrual periods, heavier flow, and more intense menstrual pain were associated with higher levels of internalizing problems. These associations were particularly pronounced in adolescents with shorter sleep duration and later bedtimes, as measured by the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire. The findings suggest that integrating menstrual cycle characteristics and sleep factors into healthcare practices may support mental health and resilience in adolescent females.
