First author, year of publication Included participants (age range or mean) Study design and duration Hormone measurement and/or intervention Study quality Depression (symptom) assessment Sleep assessment subjective (S) and objective (O) Results: sex hormones and sleep Results: sex hormones and depressive symptoms Results: association sleepdepressive symptoms Antonijevic et al., 2003 7 depressed women and 5 controls (age range 20-44, mean age 28) Cross-sectional case control study No intervention Indwelling catheter measuring nocturnal secretion of estradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH Fair MDD diagnosis S: None O: Sleep EEG Associations between sleep and hormone levels in controls: NS. NR. Depression = ↓ time in stage 2 sleep * and ↑ SOL*. Ratio of SWS and delta-EEG activity between the first and second nonREM period ↓ in depressed patients vs. controls*. Baker et al., 2012 18 women with severe PMS and 18 controls (age range 18-40, mean age 30) Prospective case-control study (one menstrual cycle, measurement in follicular and luteal phase) No intervention Blood samples to measure progesterone and estrogen Fair BDI-II and POMS S: PSQI O: Sleep PSG PMS group (vs. controls): ↑ SWS*, ↓ stage 1 sleep*, ↑time in delta band* and delta wave amplitude*, ↑ awakenings*, ↓ feeling refreshed after sleep*. Self-reported sleep onset = PSG sleep onset in both groups*. PMS group ↑ BDI scores in both phases*, deterioration of BDI scores in luteal phase in PMS group but not in control group*. Difference in P and E levels in PMS vs. healthy group=NS ↑ P and ↑ E = ↓ % REM sleep ↑ WASO P and E correlated with delta power in healthy group but not PMS group*.
