Sleep and Menopause

Menopause education

Sleep disruption during perimenopause is often written off as "just hormones." It's worth a closer look

Several medical issues can be happening at once: obstructive sleep apnoea (often without the classic snoring), vasomotor or physical symptoms disrupting sleep directly, and insomnia, a learnt and continuing hyperarousal response in bed persisting long after the original trigger has resolved.
