10 Early Signs of Menopause – Perimenopause Symptoms

Sleeping Issues or Insomnia

Adults should have 7 to 8 hours of sleeping every eight to ensure optimal health. It could be difficult for you to stay asleep or fall asleep during menopause. In some cases, you could wake up earlier and have difficulty going to sleep again. To deal with this issue, you should apply breathing and relaxation techniques. Also, it is necessary to do exercises throughout the day to make sure you are tired when going to bed. Do not leave your cell phone or computer near the sleeping area because artificial lights could disrupt when you are sleeping. Listening to soothing music, reading, or bathing before sleeping might be useful in helping you relax. Also, avoid drinks or foods which can alter your sleep such as alcohol, caffeine, or chocolate.
