Preliminary findings reveal that phthalate exposure is associated with both subjective and objective measures of sleep in a small population of midlife women

•The paper explore the association between phthalate exposure and multiple sleep measures (subjective and objective) in a small population of midlife women.•The preliminary findings indicate that midlife women exposed to higher concentrations of phthalates have worse sleep outcomes.•Further research will be necessary to determine how these associations apply to the broader population of midlife women.
