Sleep disturbances and hot flashes are known to be the two core symptoms of peri- and post- menopause with 40-60% of women experiencing sleep disturbances. This is especially true when menopause has been surgically induced.
With lower levels of estrogen the bodies temperature increases, making sleep much more difficult.
This is important to treat as dysfunctions in sleep can lower quality of life, and increase the risk for depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease.
