Hormones: Women approaching menopause frequently have sleep disturbances. The hormone imbalances that precede the onset of true menopause may cause symptoms that preclude normal sleep patterns. Overactive bladder symptoms may also accompany these changes, although other issues may be contributing. See a doctor well versed in perimenopausal issues. Menopause is normal but may effect quality of life.

Insomnia is common: During menopause/ perimenopause. Try using excellent sleep hygiene. If that is not sufficient seek medical evaluation. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may include a warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or >.
