Perimenopausal Sleep Disruption

Meaning

Perimenopausal Sleep Disruption refers to the array of sleep disturbances commonly experienced by individuals during the perimenopause, the transitional period leading up to menopause. These disturbances frequently manifest as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, frequent nocturnal awakenings, and a general sensation of non-restorative sleep, often attributed to fluctuating ovarian hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, which significantly influence sleep architecture and thermoregulation.
