Insomnia and disrupted nights are among the most common, and one of the hardest, symptoms of the menopause. Hormonal changes can make it harder to fall asleep, cause frequent waking, or trigger night sweats that disturb rest.<\/p>\n
We\u2019d like to hear about what has (or hasn\u2019t) helped you manage these challenges. Have you sought medical support, such as a prescription for melatonin or HRT? Have lifestyle changes like exercise, diet, or relaxation techniques made a difference? Or perhaps you\u2019ve tried alternative remedies or found creative ways of coping with broken sleep.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re especially interested in the practical steps you\u2019ve taken \u2013 big or small \u2013 and how they\u2019ve affected your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n
