The study’s sample size may limit generalizability, as our study having smaller sample size. A larger, more diverse sample size and population could deliver more robust findings. In order to enhance external validity, future research could consider about recruiting study subjects from diverse geographical areas and ethnic backgrounds.

·         Secondly, data were collected for the study at a particular point in time using a cross-sectional methodology. Longitudinal studies could explore sleep patterns over the menstrual cycle. Furthermore, cross-sectional data cannot be used to establish connections between variables.

·         Thirdly, because participation was voluntary, only the individuals who wanted to fill out the questionnaire did so. The measurements were thus self-reported. The reliance on self-reported data introduces potential bias and participants may underreport or over report sleep disturbances.

·         Participants were aware of the confidentiality clauses in the informed consent section before they were asked any questions. As a result, the researchers are unable to confirm the veracity of the responses and the precision of the responses may be undermined. Despite the survey's confidentiality, it is possible that some participants did not answer the questions honestly.

• To verify self-reported sleep patterns, future research might incorporate objective measures (such as actigraphy, polysomnography, or electroencephalography).
  

• Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle were not directly assessed, nor the study assess individuals in their different stages of menstrual cycle. As studies have found hormonal imbalances a considerable factor in the variables. Many studies have found significant differences of quality of sleep in different stages of menstrual cycle. Future studies could explore hormonal levels objectively and their impact on their quality of sleep.
