Are you aged 45-55 and unable to get a good night’s sleep? Have your periods stopped? You could be suffering from menopause insomnia.
If the menopause is affecting your sleep quality, it can impact your daily life. The feeling of overwhelming tiredness due to a lack of sleep caused by menopause insomnia and symptoms such as hot flushes and mood swings can be unbearable for many women.
Let’s examine why you might be suffering from menopause insomnia and what you can to do manage it.
On average, you should have between 7-9 hours of sleep a night. If you’re constantly waking up and unable to get back to sleep, you’re likely suffering from insomnia.
Insomnia is a serious sleep disorder that prevents you from getting enough quality sleep and affects other areas of your life.
Women who have always slept well may find menopause sleep issues begin at this time of life.
Difficulty sleeping in menopause can result in:
If you are not functioning at your best, you may make mistakes at work or in your day-to-day routine. Errors due to insomnia when driving or operating machinery could be potentially fatal.
GOOD TO KNOW
Lactium® is a natural ingredient that can help with insomnia, allowing you to achieve restful sleep.
Menopause sleep issues occur because of the changes in hormones that take place during this stage of a woman’s life. A significant decline in the production of oestrogen and progesterone levels during menopause disrupts the body’s ability to maintain a healthy sleep pattern.
Oestrogen influences serotonin, a neurotransmitter which moderates the sleep cycle. Your body needs a certain quantity of serotonin to follow the natural rhythm of going to bed when you’re tired, sleeping soundly and waking feeling refreshed.
Lower oestrogen levels can break this cycle and cause menopause sleep problems.
Night sweats, a common menopause symptom, cause excessive sweating during sleep. The discomfort of damp bedding and clothing often wakes you, disrupting sleep and making it harder to fall back asleep.
The duration of menopause insomnia varies, and every woman’s experience is unique.
This condition often begins during the perimenopause stage as your body prepares for this major life event. A key sign that you are entering perimenopause is a change in the pattern of your periods.
Menopause sleep problems may continue through ‘the change’ and into the post-menopause stage, which lasts for the rest of your life and means you will no longer be able to fall pregnant.
While some women find relief shortly after transitioning into post-menopause, others may wish to investigate non-medicinal treatments.
GOOD TO KNOW
In the most recent survey carried out by Statistica, over 4/5 of women who took part reported menopause sleep problems.
Understanding that menopause and sleep are closely related is the first step toward managing this condition effectively. Addressing the underlying causes of menopause sleep problems, such as hormonal changes, can help alleviate sleep disruption and improve overall quality of life.
