Question: I am going through menopause and have terrible insomnia,does anyone know what can help?I fall asleep no problem but I wake up about 2 hrs later wide awake. So I sit up till about 4 am, reading or going on the computor.Ughhhhhhh then I am so tired the next day. I try to go to bed around 11:00 pm but like clock work I am wide awake around 1:30-2:00 am. I am ready to resort to sleeping pills bc this is driving me insane. I take a vitamin supplement for menopause. Does anyone know what I can do, or has anyone going through menopause found the solution to this insane problem!
Answer: Never gone through menopause, but can associate with the sleeping patterns. I would increase your soy intake, it helps with the problems of meonopause and then look at taking an over the counter sleep aid in a half dosage. I do take an over the counter in the half on occassion because the full dosage makes me feel like a space cadet the next day or I don't want to wake up at all.Also, try a little exercise before bed - I prefer a light yoga destressing routine that makes me sleepy. It pulls and stretches all your muscles and makes you feel really relaxed and it not really stressful or intense. It helps to relax me
