Sleeping better through Menopause
60% of women in menopause suffer some form of insomnia or sleep related issue so you are not alone if getting a good night sleep feels like a struggle.
As your hormone levels fluctuate during menopause your sleep can be effected which can impact your emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. Poor sleep unfortunately tends to continue through perimenopause into menopause and beyond if we don’t address it. Many women have tried good sleep hygiene habits but find these don’t work, why? It’s because of our stress hormones, especially cortisol. In order to sleep better we need to learn new skills and abilities which work to lower our cortisol levels to allow us to sleep well.
