Sleep disturbances are a common issue during menopause, impacting many women in the UK. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and is marked by the cessation of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. The hormonal changes during this period, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone, can significantly affect sleep quality. Affected sleep in menopause can manifest as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep. Sleep disruptions can also be attributed to night sweats
, a common menopausal symptom due to fluctuating hormone levels.
"Sleeping hot" or night sweats, are sudden bursts of heat that can drench the bed linens and cause significant sleep disturbances. Managing the sleep environment
, such as keeping the room cool
, using breathable bedding
, and wearing lightweight sleepwear
, can help alleviate these symptoms.
Additionally, anxiety and stress are common topics related to menopausal sleep problems. Hormonal shifts can lead to increased anxiety and stress levels, making it harder to unwind and achieve restful sleep. Mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga can be beneficial in promoting relaxation and better sleep.
