abstract={Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women during their reproductive age. Recent studies showed that PCOS may be a risk factor to the development of endometrial cancer. This risk factor may be associated with sleep disorders including sleep-disordered breathing and excessive daytime sleepiness. The mechanisms leading to this high prevalence of sleep disorders in PCOS have not yet been identified. However, possible causes include alterations in body fat composition due to excess androgen levels and/or the effects of the metabolic syndrome. These effects on sleep disorders may have an impact on daily physical activities.},
