Causes of insomnia before menstruation

Menstruation is a natural manifestation of female reproductive organs. Some women always feel unwell, dizzy and weak a few days before menstruation. Some people also often suffer from insomnia. So what is the reason for insomnia before menstruation? Let me learn about it together.

1. Endocrine disorders can induce insomnia in women during menstruation.

2. Secondly, women’s premenstrual insomnia may be caused by endocrine disorders during the 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 develop and mature and secrete more and more estrogen.

3. Estrogen reaches a peak before ovulation, but then drops sharply temporarily after ovulation.

After a woman ovulates, the ruptured follicle forms a corpus luteum. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will degenerate and the secretion of estrogen will decrease rapidly.

The secretion of progesterone also gradually decreases, leading to the degeneration and shedding of the endometrium and the onset of menstruation in women.

4. After menstruation, the estrogen and progesterone levels in women's bodies are at a relatively low level. Because estrogen is involved in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, when estrogen levels decrease, women will experience symptoms of nervous disorders such as insomnia.

Disease treatment

1. Choose the right sanitary napkin for night use

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.

3. Moderate exercise

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.

4. Optimism and self-confidence

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.

5. Avoid stimulation

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.

6. Take calcium and magnesium

They can relieve tension and facilitate sleep, and can alleviate insomnia during menstruation to a certain extent. Foods with high calcium and magnesium content include milk, bananas, etc. Women may wish to eat more of them before and after their menstrual period.
