Menopause Insomnia: What the Research Shows
Menopause Insomnia: CBT-I, Yoga, and Mindfulness Explained
This Short breaks down a recent meta-analysis on insomnia in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Sleep disruption during the menopause transition can be influenced by more than stress.
Hormone changes, hot flashes, night sweats, circadian rhythm disruption, nighttime awakenings, mood, stress physiology, and recovery can all contribute.
The study evaluated approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, and mindfulness-based therapies.
CBT-I showed one of the largest and most consistent benefits.
Yoga and mindfulness also appeared to support sleep quality and stress-related symptoms.
The takeaway is not that every sleep issue has the same solution.
The takeaway is that insomnia deserves a real evaluation.
