Poor sleep during perimenopause and menopause

Send us Fan MailSleep—something so basic, yet so many women lose it right when they need it most. During perimenopause and menopause, disrupted nights become one of the most common and frustrating symptoms. But why does this happen?As oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels begin to fluctuate, the brain’s sleep-regulating systems get thrown off balance. Add in hot flushes, night sweats, increased anxiety, and changes in mood, and suddenly a restful night’s sleep feels out of reach. What’s more, the body’s natural circadian rhythm can shift with age, making it even harder to fall—and stay—asleep.Today, we’re diving into the science behind these changes, exploring how hormones, stress, and lifestyle all play a role in women’s sleep during this stage of life. Most importantly, we’ll be sharing strategies and solutions that can help you reclaim your rest.Because better sleep isn’t just about feeling less tired—it’s about supporting your overall health, your resilience, and your quality of life.https://calmmenopause.co.uk/https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1CzLZjxgPA%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr&e=AT05ML4wHgdNu244GlOIripK8SgnACBVq3N-pbK88PgHf52KJQDwwtDQCAys5NNNb5kTKOa7HVVAQi1KaKvJTfixUbLLm8u15OAyA0GYTNNpt9WZkyFfM7o
