Hi Ladies,
Are any of you experiencing insomnia? Well, it can be due to many reasons, but if you are going through Peri-menopause, or menopause then most likely that is the reason.
Women going through their menopause frequently suffer from insomnia. Menopause and insomnia co-occur due to the reduction and imbalance of hormones associated with menopause. The resulting stress, anxiety, and depression deprive the menopausal woman of sleep. Accompanying these sleep disturbances are hot flashes and sweats that are the characteristic symptoms of menopause. Symptoms Of Menopausal Insomnia Symptoms of insomnia in menopausal women are the same as in other insomniacs. These include: difficulty in falling asleep, waking up very early in the morning, feeling fatigue upon waking up, waking up with hot flashes and sweating. Also, menopause and insomnia, when occurring together, are characterized by having vivid dreams and waking up with a thumping beat. http://www.thehealthcarecenter.com/menopause_and_insomnia.html
The imbalance of hormones is causing the insomnia so we must get them into balance. How do we do this? Based on some research, I know that I have to have blood work done to check the levels of the estrogen and FSH in my body. See your gynecologist to schedule this bloodwork so you can get some answers and get a safe remedy based on what they find. Remember, we want them to balance our hormones that are out of balance and give us what we need instead of just prescribing the pill.
