What to do if you have insomnia during menstruation?

During menstruation, many women feel bad and irritable, which affects the quality of their sleep. This will in turn affect work and normal life. Many women want to know what to do about insomnia during this period? If you feel upset during this special period, you can listen to some music or do something else to calm your mood. For example, drinking some milk, listening to some light music, etc. are all good options. During this period, you must not quarrel or get angry because this will easily affect your sleep.

It is normal to suffer from insomnia during menstruation. Many women will experience insomnia during menstruation. The reason is that premenstrual insomnia may be caused by fluctuations in sex hormone levels during women's menstrual cycle. The central nervous system controls the hypothalamus to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. These pituitary hormones cause the follicles in the ovaries to gradually mature and secrete more and more estrogen. Estrogen reaches a peak before ovulation and temporarily drops after ovulation. These estrogen fluctuations can cause women's sleep to be unstable, always suffering from insomnia and dreaminess, and restless sleep. Here are some ways to alleviate the symptoms of insomnia during menstruation:

1. If women want to get rid of insomnia during menstruation, the most important thing is to relieve tension. Therefore, women should relax appropriately before the menstrual period comes, and not be too nervous, so as to avoid or reduce insomnia during menstruation. We can make up for the factors that cause hormone imbalance through diet. As for mental factors, we need to choose suitable sanitary napkins and arrange a comfortable sleeping environment for ourselves to adjust.

Choosing sanitary napkins with strong breathability, good texture and strong leakage prevention ability can make women sleep peacefully at night and greatly relieve the tension before going to bed. Sanitary napkins with leak-proof design can undoubtedly make sleep during menstruation worry-free and help women easily get rid of menstrual insomnia.

2. Eat a healthy diet

Some women have an increased appetite during their menstrual period, and overeating leads to indigestion and stomach discomfort, which in turn causes insomnia. Therefore, eat light, easily digestible, nutritious food, and try to eat small meals frequently.

Maintaining or increasing exercise in the week before your period can improve sleep by maintaining a chemical balance in your brain, while also providing psychological pleasure. Of course, you should still avoid swimming and strenuous exercise during your menstrual period.

Women themselves should treat mood swings and insomnia symptoms during menstruation correctly. Maintaining a good mental state, being optimistic, confident, and open-minded, and arranging life, work, and study reasonably will help get rid of insomnia during menstruation.

Coffee, tea, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. will stimulate emotions during menstruation and aggravate breast pain, thereby inducing or aggravating insomnia. Therefore, you should control stimulating foods such as coffee, tea, chocolate, cigarettes, and alcohol in order to get a good sleep.
