Trouble falling asleep
Your body feels tired, but your mind or nervous system does not settle when you lie down.
Trouble sleeping
Exhaustion does not have to feel normal.
Find out what may be disrupting your sleep and which treatment approaches can help.
Sleep problems do not all look the same.
The pattern of your sleep can offer useful clues about what is getting in the way of rest.
Your pattern matters.
Notice what changed, when it happens, and what makes it better or worse. Those details help guide care.
Waking through the night
Heat, sweating, bladder symptoms, pain, or no obvious trigger may pull you out of sleep.
Waking too early
You wake before you intend to and cannot get enough restorative sleep before the day begins.
Menopause can disrupt sleep in more than one way.
Night sweats are common contributors, but mood symptoms, bladder changes, chronic pain, insomnia, and sleep apnea may also affect sleep quality.
Symptoms wake you
Hot flashes, a need to urinate, or discomfort can repeatedly interrupt the sleep cycle.
Stress keeps you alert
Anxiety, low mood, and major life demands can make it harder to fall asleep or return to sleep.
A sleep disorder may overlap
Insomnia and sleep apnea become important to consider when sleep problems persist.
Better sleep begins with identifying the disruptor.
A useful plan treats the reason sleep is breaking down instead of relying only on short-term sleep aids.
ApproachWhat it may includeWhat to know
Sleep assessment
Sleep pattern, symptoms, medicines, breathing, and daily function.
A clinician can screen for insomnia, sleep apnea, and menopause symptoms that need treatment.
Behavioral sleep care
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and consistent sleep habits.
CBT-I can help retrain the patterns that keep insomnia going.
Treat contributing symptoms
Care for night sweats, mood, pain, or bladder symptoms.
