Sleep Problems and Perimenopause: How to Get Rest Again

If you’re exhausted but can’t sleep, welcome to one of the most common — and frustrating — symptoms of perimenopause. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women reclaim restful sleep.

Why sleep gets disrupted:

• Night sweats
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Cortisol spikes
• Anxiety
• Blood sugar drops
• Hot flashes
• Overstimulation
• Aging sleep patterns

What helps:

1. Sleep hygiene basics
Cool room, consistent schedule, avoid screens before bed.

2. Magnesium glycinate
Supports relaxation and deeper sleep.

3. Hormone therapy (if appropriate)
Stabilizes night sweats, anxiety, and temperature swings.

4. Stress reduction
Breathwork, calming routines, or light stretching.

5. Nutrition support
Avoiding alcohol and sugar before bed reduces nighttime wakings.

6. Medications if needed
Low-dose SSRIs, gabapentin, or other sleep aids can offer relief.

You deserve to wake up feeling human again.
