3. Difficulty Sleeping and Insomnia
Night sweats and anxiety brought about by early menopause will affect the quality of your sleep. In some severe cases, these symptoms can lead to the development of sleep disorders like insomnia. A lack of quality sleep will affect every system in your body. Our brain releases and clears metabolic toxins during sleep.
If the sleep cycle is disturbed, the brain can’t efficiently remove the toxins. You may wake up finding yourself feeling groggy, tired, and irritable.
If you are struggling to sleep, try to manage your bedtime and do all you can to improve the state of your mind and body before you retire to bed. Draw a hot bath to relax your body, lower the lights to signal your brain that it’s time to sleep.
Avoid contact with your smartphone for an hour before bed, the blue light will disturb your body’s natural circadian rhythms. If you are dealing with severe symptoms related to a lack of sleep, visit your physician. Your doctor may prescribe you sleeping medications to provide relief from the symptom, and a good night’s rest.
