What should women do when they suffer from insomnia during menopause?

Our lives are very stressful nowadays, and everyone has some problems with sleep. The pace of society is so fast now that it is not only men who are under pressure, but women also face great pressure, especially menopausal women. After women reach a certain age, the estrogen in their bodies will change, so menopausal women will easily become irritable and angry, which will lead to insomnia. Here, I will introduce to you some methods to relieve insomnia.

1. When you are upset, have wild thoughts, and cannot calm down, try lying on the bed, lift your feet up, and lean against the wall for 5 to 10 minutes to help cool down your overheated head.

2. People with poor circulation, fear of cold and difficulty sleeping can make some space at home and practice walking backwards. Practice for 20 minutes every day to train your brain's balance function and adjust your metabolism. Your hands and feet will also be warmer after walking.

3. Rub your shoulders with your hands to generate heat in the joints such as elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. There are many important acupoints near these parts, and more friction can promote the circulation of qi and blood. Especially the "Shenmen Point" near the wrist (turn your palm up and make a fist, the depression on the wrist crease close to the little finger side) and the "Neiguan Point" (turn your palm up, 2 inches directly above the midpoint of the first horizontal line of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers away) are related to sleep. Pressing them more often can have a hypnotic effect.

4. Exercise regularly and find a stress-relieving method that suits you. For example, meditation, practicing relaxation and deep, slow and long breathing, engaging in activities that interest you, maintaining pleasant interpersonal interactions, etc. can all help you avoid falling into the depression storm of menopause and prevent mental disorders from depriving you of sleep.

5. Eat light food and avoid caffeine. Salt and caffeine may aggravate the symptoms of hot flashes, so menopausal women should eat light meals and drink less caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola, especially after noon, to prevent caffeine from interfering with sleep.

6. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water every day, or drink more depending on your thirst. Sufficient water can relieve hot flashes and avoid poor sleep due to heat. But don't drink a lot of water 2 hours before going to bed, so as to avoid running to the bathroom in the middle of the night and interrupting your sleep.

I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of this information. Therefore, the editor here hopes that all female friends who see this content can use the methods mentioned above to have a certain effect on your sleep. I hope you have a good sleep.
