This article explores the factors contributing to sleep disturbances and sleep disorders in transgender individuals, including minority stress, gender dysphoria, comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions, and the impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy. It discusses how these factors affect insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disruption. Practical strategies are provided to support inclusive, affirming care, focusing on communication, individualized assessment, and coexisting conditions.
