Poor sleep is one of the most common complaints of women during perimenopause and menopause.

A 2015, survey conducted by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that sleep problems increased significantly for women aged 40-59 years, who were experiencing perimenopause. The key data from the survey showed:

  • 56% of women slept less than 7 hours a night

  • 24.8% of women said they had trouble falling asleep 4 or more times in a week

  • 30.8% of women said they had trouble staying asleep at least 4 nights a week

  • 49.9% of women wake in the morning feeling tired, rather than rested, 4 or more days in a week

Today, Lisa provides insight into why sleep gets disrupted during the menopause transition and offers some nutrition and lifestyle tips to support a good night's sleep.
