Perimenopause Sleep

Meaning

Perimenopause Sleep refers to the specific patterns and disturbances of sleep quality and duration that commonly occur during the perimenopausal transition, the period leading up to menopause. This clinical issue is largely driven by the fluctuating and eventually declining levels of ovarian hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. Symptoms often include increased incidence of insomnia, fragmented sleep, and night sweats (vasomotor symptoms), which profoundly impact daytime function and overall well-being.
