Infertility is an important health problem affecting individuals and the society. Recently, the number of infertile individuals has been increasing. There is a bidirectional relationship between infertility and sleep. Infertility causes the life quality of couples to deteriorate besides causing a great number of problems. One of these problems is sleep problems. On the other hand, sleep deprivation and sleep disorders in women and men affect the circadian system and change the hormonal balance of individuals. These changes affect sperm quality in men and oocyte formation in women, causing infertility. There are few studies investigating the relationship between sleep disorders and infertility. The aim of this review is to address the relationship between sleep problems and infertility.

İnfertilite ve uyku

Öz

İnfertilite bireyleri ve toplumu etkileyen önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Son zamanlarda infertil bireylerin sayısı giderek artmaktadır. İnfertilite ile uyku arasında ise çift yönlü bir ilişki mevcuttur. İnfertilite, çiftlerin yaşam kalitesinin bozulmasına ve bununla birlikte birçok sorunun yaşanmasına sebep olmaktadır. Karşılaşılan bu sorunlardan birisi de uyku problemleridir. Diğer yönden değerlendirildiğinde ise kadın ve erkekte uyku yoksunluğu ve uyku bozukluğu sirkadiyen sistemi etkileyerek bireylerin hormonal dengelerini değiştirmektedir. Bu değişimler ise erkekte sperm kalitesini, kadında oosit oluşumunu etkileyerek infertiliteye sebep olmaktadır. Uyku düzensizliğinin fertiliteyle ilişkisini inceleyen pek az çalışma mevcuttur. Bu derlemedeki amaç uyku problemleri ile infertilite arasındaki ilişkiyi ele almaktır.
