10 Symptoms of Perimenopause
Symptom #4: Insomnia
Women who are going through the perimenopause phase can find it difficult to sleep throughout the night due to other symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, or emotions such as depression and anxiety. As the estrogen level declines, women in the perimenopause phase can become more susceptible to stressors in life.
At the perimenopause age, women are also going through crucial events in their life such as empty nest syndrome where their children have grown up and are leaving home for college, retirement, and other issues. The increased stressors can keep them up at night worrying and getting more stressed. It is important to talk to your doctor or friend as a listening or sympathetic ear can often be helpful.
