Insomnia is very painful for everyone. If you can't fall asleep at night, you often want to sleep during the day, which directly affects our normal study, life and work. This is the aspect that everyone is most worried about. Therefore, after insomnia, many people are very

Anxious. So, let’s take a look at the causes of insomnia in women during menopause.

Menopausal insomnia is caused by the gradual decrease in ovarian estrogen secretion and the increase in pituitary gonadotropin during menopause, which leads to temporary neuroendocrine imbalance, hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis feedback system imbalance and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, resulting in depression and anxiety, which are often the main causes of insomnia. The patient's current condition can be treated with the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, which can comprehensively regulate the functions of the internal organs, balance yin and yang, and regulate emotions, and the patient can gradually recover.

Causes

1. Overeating at dinner. If you eat a large, greasy dinner too late, it will delay stomach emptying.

At this time, the intense work of the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs after a meal will transmit information to the brain, causing brain activity and spreading to other parts of the cerebral cortex, making it impossible to sleep well at night and leading to insomnia.

2. Drinking before going to bed. Many people tend to like to have a drink before going to bed, but the price they pay may be waking up several times in the middle of the night, which seriously impairs their sleep quality. This may be related to the fact that alcohol inhibits their rapid eye movement period, resulting in a very short deep sleep period or almost no deep sleep. People who have the habit of drinking will still have poor sleep quality even if they spend a lot of time in bed, which will lead to severe insomnia in the long run. [1]

3. Eating too much gas-producing food. Spicy foods interfere with sleep. Spicy foods such as peppers, garlic and raw onions can cause stomach heartburn and indigestion in some people, leading to insomnia. Excessive consumption of caffeinated beverages or foods is often a trigger for insomnia. Especially for some people who are sensitive to caffeine, even just a cup of hot cocoa in the afternoon is enough to make them toss and turn. Additionally, caffeine's diuretic effect can also defeat your hopes of getting a good night's sleep.
