Memory performance before and after a nap in men and in women studied twice: (1) during perimenses (−5 days to + 6 days from first day of menstruation), when sex steroid hormones are expected to be low, and (2) at another time during the menstrual cycle, outside of perimenses (non-perimenses), when sex steroid hormones are expected to be higher. * significantly (p<0.05) poorer performance before the nap compared to women (non-perimenses). # significantly better performance after the nap compared to perimenses and men. Women in their perimenses recording showed significant forgetting after the nap. Data taken from (Sattari et al. 2017).
