“Having a good ole whine about insomnia, with a little red wine…”

Call me lazy, but I've always needed a solid 8 hours of sleep minimum to feel human. Anything less and I don’t function properly. I enjoyed my beauty sleep every day until I started going through “the change”.

Perimenopause hit me like a freight train. In the last six months, I'm lucky to get even 6 hours of sleep a night. I feel like I’m permanently tired, and feel like I'm always on the verge of stressing out my immune system and getting sick.

On the plus side, it's one am in the morning and I have just finished writing a magnificent, inspirational budget for a grant that was on my 'to-do' list for next week. 

As I was lying down, fruitlessly trying to sleep, the whole string of what needs to be on the list scrolled through my brain so clearly I HAD to get up and write it down before I forgot it all.

So at least I can go to sleep with a clear conscience and a sense of fulfilment, my debilitating insomnia actually helped with something good for once. Now the only thing left to do is to actually SLEEP. If I wake up (or stay up) after 5am, that's it, no getting back to sleep that day. I'm really over this.

It's all connected. If I don't sleep properly, I don't have the energy to exercise. If I don't exercise, I lack the serotonin boost I need to help me sleep properly. With more and more cases of insomnia happening recently, I am getting less and less sleep, I’m gaining a ton of weight and I feel like absolute crap.

So I'm sitting here with my virtual perimenopausal sisterhood, having a good old whine next to a glass of good old wine. Because God knows I'm going to need some help getting back to bed now.

Good night, anonymous friends. Sleep well. I won't.

Are there any solutions for menopausal insomnia?

The traditional treatment for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia is typically hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It consists of low doses of artificial hormone in pill, patch or cream form.

However, HRT just doesn't sit right with some women, and can cause some harsh side effects like nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains.

So, here are some simple and natural tips and lifestyle hacks you can try for better sleep:

Tip #1: Go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday

However tempting it is to sleep in on the weekends, especially if you’re dealing with insomnia all week…do try to get up at the same time everyday. By going to sleep and getting up at the same time everyday you train your body to accept the new sleep pattern you’re setting.

Tip #2: Eliminate caffeine 

Cut down on caffeine if you can. The side effects of caffeine — like increased alertness — can last for several hours up to 24 hours, so the chances of it affecting sleep are significant. 

Tip #3: Do not eat or drink right before going to bed

We know eating a snack right before bed feels really good, but you need to resist. Eating a late dinner or snacking before going to bed can signal to your body that you need to digest food and it keeps you up. Also, drinking a lot of fluids prior to bed can overwhelm the bladder, requiring frequent visits to the bathroom that disturb your sleep.

Tip #4: Make your sleeping environment comfortable

The simplest tip out of all.  Make sure the temperature, lighting, and noise are at the right level to make your bedroom a conducive environment to sleep in. Your sleep environment should feel nothing but comfortable, so if you have a pet that sleeps in the room with you, consider having the pet sleep somewhere else if it tends to make noise in the night.
