BB Company’s Guide To A Good Night’s Rest

Sleep gets harder and harder to get after going through menopause.

In fact, it’s the thing that women miss the most after going through “the change”.

To make things worse, every other day there’s a new symptom to worry about — which can cause even more sleepless nights.

 

 Why is having ample sleep important?

Sleep is the time your body sets for itself to rest and repair — after functioning for a whole day when you’re awake. Essentially it does it’s daily self-maintenance, by:

• Producing new cells.
• Regulating hormones. 
• Storing your memories made. 
• Reinforcing your immune system. 
• Repairing and growing your muscles. 
• Bridging nerve cell connections.

All, so you can feel exactly like you do the next day.

 

This maintenance happens during one of two sleep phases, REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep & non-REM sleep.

 

REM sleep is the crucial period where your body does its maintenance, and is also where you sleep the “deepest”. Any interruptions to REM sleep can affect the quality of your rest — which is what most menopausal women have to deal with.

 How Menopause Affects Sleep

There are a laundry list of reasons why menopausal women are sleep-deprived.

The hormonal imbalance can cause some nasty symptoms that mess with your sleep, like:

• Hot flashes & night sweats
• Anxiety
• Restless leg syndrome
• Joint pains
• Urinary problems

Does that mean you’ll never get another good night’s rest ever again?

Not if we can help it! 

To set you in the right state of mind to sleep soundly through the night, we’ve prepared a guide to help you finally catch a good night’s sleep:

 

Balanced Diet

Eating too little or too much can affect your sleep as well.

Cut down on added sugars & saturated fats, and add more greens, a good source of carbohydrates (whole grains), fish and your favorite source of dairy can help put you in the mood for sleep.

Minimize Caffeine Before Bed

We’re not telling you to totally cut caffeine out of your life, just before bed.

Drinks like (coffee, tea, soda, hot chocolate) have stimulants like caffeine inside them, and taking it before bed can shorten the time you have for deep sleep. So avoid taking caffeine or any stimulants 5 hours before bedtime.

 

Turn Off The Lights

Bright lights & blue light from your screen can affect melatonin levels — a.k.a your sleep hormones — and ultimately affect your sleep as well.

Turn down or completely off your overhead lights and limit any screen time in the evening to signal to your body that bedtime is coming. Yes, that includes your TVs and phones because regardless of screen size, they affect your sleep all the same.

A good practice is to avoid screens for at least 30 minutes before tucking yourself in.

 

Trade That Night Cap For Something Else

We know a little bit of red or white can make falling asleep easier, but knocking yourself out isn’t the best way.

Alcohol can cause you to wake abruptly and affect your deep sleep, if you’re craving for a drink before bed try having some tart-cherry juice or some milk instead. Both of these options help increase melatonin, which fosters better sleep.

Get More Sunlight

If you didn’t know, your body reacts to sunlight.

It helps reset your body’s circadian rhythm — including your sleep-wake cycle. Having sunlight exposure also helps improve your vitamin D production, a vitamin that’s important for sleep maintenance.

 

Wake Up At The Same Time Daily

Waking up at the same time every single day helps you build a consistent sleep-wake schedule. 

Soon your body will adapt to this new timing, and you will find yourself sleeping and waking at the same time every single day. Being strict about your bedtime routine helps.

 

Fit Some Exercise Into Your Day

Research has shown that doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day can help improve the quality of your sleep, as well as protect you from some of the causes of poor sleep.

So if you have time, take a brisk walk or head down to the swimming pool for low-impact exercises to get your activity level up.
