This Menopause Awareness Month, a new study has found that 80% of people going through perimenopause experience difficulty sleeping. The study also found that 90% of women in this phase experience anxiety while 71% have night sweats, with both of these symptoms affecting sleep.
Ironically, the researchers behind the study also discovered a positive relationship between sleep duration and perimenopausal symptoms, finding that that perimenopause symptoms caused by low estrogen were reduced with more sleep during a recent study.
