Short answer: Menopause disrupts sleep through hot flushes and night sweats, falling progesterone (a calming hormone), and higher anxiety. Sleep better with a cool room, steady evening blood sugar, stress down-regulation, and calming botanicals like valerian and passionflower.
Why menopause disrupts sleep
Progesterone, which supports calm and sleep, declines, while hot flushes and night sweats fragment the night. Anxiety and a busier mind often add to it.
What helps
- Keep cool: light bedding, a cool room, breathable fabrics.
- Steady evening blood sugar to reduce night waking.
- Down-regulate with breathwork and a real wind-down.
- Calming botanicals: valerian, passionflower, skullcap.
Our Sleep Tincture is non-habit-forming and can help you fall and stay asleep through the disruption.
