….. SLEEP. A common perimenopause symptom. Insomnia can also contribute to co-symptoms such as weight gain, irritability, and problems with concentration. Sleeplessness may be alleviated by making some simple changes in you routine.
Steps to a better night’s sleep can be:
* Eliminating caffeine or Limiting to early in the day.
* Avoid alcohol – which disrupts sleep patterns.
* Don’t confuse things with Sleeping Pills – only a short-term fix.
Sometimes we can get ourselves into a viscous cycle of
caffeine. Drink it to wake up and be
more alert – but then it keeps us from sleeping properly many hours later.
If you just can’t relax meditation can help to clear your
mind: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meditation/HQ01070
From the kitchen: try a small before bed snack containing tryptophan
that simulates sleep-inducing serotonin.
Examples are the age-old cup of warm milk, a little bit of turkey, or
some nuts.
Tip: Sleep better and avoid aggravating
other perimenopause symptoms.
There are few things better then a good night’s sleep. Try these things to help you get some
ZZZZZZZZZs
