Sleep, Stress, and Hormones
Understanding the Link Between Menopause and Sleep
When our hormones decline during the menopause transition, sleepless nights are a common challenge, often driven by fluctuating hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Creating a consistent bedtime routine, managing evening stress, and optimizing your sleep environment are important strategies, especially during the menopause transition. By addressing these root causes, we can help you achieve more restorative rest, which is crucial for overall health and well-being.
The Impact of Stress on Your Hormonal Health
The link between stress and hormonal imbalance is undeniable, especially during menopause. Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which can further disrupt hormone production and intensify symptoms. Implementing stress-reduction techniques, such as mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle movement, helps build resilience to daily stressors, creating a more balanced internal environment. Managing stress is a vital component of holistic menopause support and a healthier you.
5-Part Plan to Improve Sleep During the Menopause Transition
- Optimize your sleep environment - Make sure your room is dark, free from noise, and cool
- Digital Detox - Try putting away electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime
- Manage Stress daily with mindfulness, breathwork, and/or other tools such as walks in nature
- Consider a bedtime guided meditation, gentle yoga or other relaxation exercises before bed
- Talk to your health care provider (such as a naturopath) about adaptogens to assist with sleep and relaxation.
