Menopause comes with hormonal, physical, and psychological changes for women. “From peri-menopause (or transition phase) to post-menopause, women report the most sleeping problems,” reports the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). These symptoms include hot flushes, mood disorders, insomnia, and sleep-disordered breathing.
