Treatment Options for Insomnia Linked to Menopause
If menopause is the main trigger of insomnia, you may relieve the symptoms by balancing hormone levels in the body. Some options are available:
– A low dose of birth control pills may help stabilize levels of hormones in the body, thus reducing symptoms of insomnia
– Hormone replacement therapy can replace the loss of estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause
– A low dose of antidepressants can change some chemicals in the brain and make it easier to fall asleep
– Melatonin supplements to regulate the sleep-wake cycles [8]
