About PMS
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) refers to symptoms experienced during the span of time before a woman’s menstrual period. Not every woman exhibits signs of PMS. If experienced, PMS may induce physical symptoms, such as cramping or bloating, or psychological symptoms, such as emotional sensitivity or mood changes. Symptoms typically appear one to two weeks before menstruation begins and stop at its start or shortly after.
About Sleep
Sleep is necessary for mammals and many other animals, in order to rejuvenate their bodies. During sleep consciousness is lost or reduced and we are less responsive to external activities. Most people need at least 8 hours of sleep per day in order to function at their highest level. Not getting enough sleep can increase the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
