A member asked:
Sleep study showed that i have highly fragmented sleep. since the problem started around menopause, i wonder, might estrogen help?

Possibly: Estrogen deficiency is associated with insomnia in some individuals. A short course of estrogen replacement (1-2 months) should answer your question. You would have to discuss long term treatment with your doctor because of the potential dangers.
