Menopause Insomnia Remedies
Menopause is one of the most challenging and troubling phases a woman will undergo. It does not only affect you during waking times but it can also become troublesome during the time when you
should already be resting and peacefully roaming dreamland. This condition is called menopause insomnia, one of the effects of menopause.
Menopause Insomnia
The main culprit that causes menopause insomnia is one of the symptoms of menopause which is called hot flashes. These hot flashes can cause the adrenaline to be stimulated which in turn will
give you a jolt of energy thus letting you stay up even in the wee hours of the night.
There are several ways other women say they know how to control these hot flashes however some work for others but some do not. One of these is HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Hot flashes though are not the only reason for menopause insomnia. The psychological effects of menopause also play a very big role in its occurrence. Anxiety, one of menopause's psychological
effects, can make you stay up all night long. Worrying about almost anything, even as you lay down on the bed, your mind is bombarded with a lot of thought and ideas. And when your mind is
stimulated with all these things, you will not be able to sleep thus resulting in menopause insomnia.
Treating Menopause Insomnia
Menopause insomnia as you have learned is an effect of some of the symptoms of menopause. Given this information, what you can do is not target the menopause insomnia itself but the symptoms
that are causing it.
A good example of this is to, instead of tackling menopause insomnia, you should spend your energy controlling the occurrence of hot flashes (this is if what's causing the insomnia is hot
flashes). There are several treatments for hot flashes in the market. If what's causing menopause insomnia is anxiety then spend your time controlling your anxiety deep breathing, support from
family, etcetera.
Other than controlling the symptoms, you can also treat menopause insomnia by doing treatments used for insomniac patients. One of these is to regularly do exercises. It is one way of relaxing
your body as well as your mind.
Another way of treating menopause insomnia is to practice relaxation techniques. This includes deep breathing exercises and meditation. Just like with exercising, relaxation techniques help you
soothe and free your mind of unnecessary and bothersome things relieving you of mental, as well as, physical stress.
