​ Sweet Sleep
01/04/2024

Ever wonder about the science of sleep... post menopause? We all know that sleep never seemed to be quite so difficult before, but is it the hot flashes, the anxiety, or the restlessness that is keeping us up? And, what the hell do our hormones have to do with all this?

This article is for educational and general wellness purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you are experiencing symptoms, please consult a knowledgeable healthcare provider.

The issue is multifactorial. Aging in and of itself can contribute to sleeplessness, and hot flashes and nighttime restlessness can contribute to disrupted sleep. Researchers have also noted lifestyle factors that may relate to sleep apnea, along with shifts in mood and melatonin levels. So yes — there is a lot going on when it comes to getting some sweet, sweet sleep.

On the hormonal side, researchers have explored connections between hormonal changes and how women report their sleep experience during midlife, given the wide-ranging effects estrogen and progesterone have on the body. The science is still evolving, and for sleep changes that some women notice during menopause, the conversation with a knowledgeable healthcare provider is always the right first step.
