Why can't I sleep during menstruation?

There are many physiological phenomena in women, especially before and after the menstrual period or during the menstrual period. Many female friends are inexplicably angry and want to curse for no reason. They are very neurotic. At this time, their boyfriends or husbands will be used as cannon fodder for no reason. However, some women can't sleep during their menstrual period. So, is it normal to be unable to sleep during menstruation?

Is it normal to have trouble sleeping during your period?

During the menstrual period, the proportion of hormones in women's bodies will change. The estrogen in women's bodies will continue to change with the ovulation period and menstrual period. If the estrogen secretion level of women during the menstrual period drops to a minimum, it will physiologically make women feel anxious, affect sleep quality, and finally cause insomnia. Another reason is that night sanitary napkins are used incorrectly. Before going to bed, women are always worried about leakage. When the anxious mood increases, insomnia may occur. Therefore, it is normal to have trouble sleeping during menstruation, and there is no need to worry too much.

What should I do if I can't sleep during my period?

1. Choose the right sanitary napkin for night use: Choose sanitary napkins with strong air permeability, good material and strong leakage-proof ability, so that women can sleep peacefully at night and greatly reduce the anxiety before going to bed. Sanitary napkins with anti-leakage design can definitely make sleep during menstruation unrestrained, allowing women to easily solve menstrual insomnia.

2. Reasonable diet: Some women have an increased appetite during their menstrual period, and overeating and drinking cause indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort, which in turn causes insomnia. Therefore, you should eat light, easy to digest, nutritious foods, and try to eat small and frequent meals.

3. Proper exercise: Maintaining or increasing exercise in the previous week can help improve sleep quality by keeping the chemical state of the brain balanced, while also bringing psychological comfort. Of course, during the menstrual period, you should still avoid excessive swimming and exercise.

Insomnia during menstruation is a common physiological phenomenon. It is best for female friends not to be nervous and anxious at this time. They should learn to release the pressure from work and study, and relax the tense nerves, so as to improve the quality of sleep. At the same time, they should solve the psychological distress caused by insomnia and maintain a stable personal quality. It is best not to drink tea, coffee, smoke, etc. before going to bed, as this will aggravate the insomnia.
