Abstract

The pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of people around the world. Both those who have directly had a coronavirus infection, and those who have been exposed to stress in conditions of social isolation, deteriorating financial well-being and other changes associated with long-term quarantine. Human existence is subject to biological rhythms, adapting the body to changing environmental conditions. One of the most important regulatory roles is played by circadian (daily) rhythms, namely the cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Pineal hormone - melatonin, is involved in the regulation of pigment metabolism, but its main effect is inhibition of the secretion of gonadotropins. In women, the highest level of melatonin is observed during menstruation, the lowest - during ovulation. This hormone plays an important role in the female reproductive system. In turn, SARS-CoV-2 can cause mental disorders by affecting the central nervous system. The most common symptoms and conditions: headaches and dizziness, taste and smell disorders (hyposmia and anosmia), weakness, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, insomnia, impaired attention and concentration. With prolonged illness, serious disorders of the central nervous system are observed. This study aims to correlate changes in sleep quality and changes in menstrual function in patients who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection.
