Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗OA ↗

Abstract

Sleep disturbance is frequently reported among transgender and gender-diverse adults.

  • Circadian preference, mental health, and gender-affirming hormone therapy may contribute to sleep disturbances.
  • The specific roles of these factors in sleep quality among TGD adults have not been clearly established.
  • Understanding these contributions could help address sleep issues in TGD populations.
