Insomnia & Hormones
Q: Almost every night I wake up around 2-3 AM. It is hard to get back to sleep, and sometimes I feel so anxious. I've never had problems with sleeping until recently. Any ideas on what is causing this? I'm only 42, and I thought that insomnia was a problem for older people.
A: Many women experience this problem beginning in their early 40s. It is associated with the hormonal changes of perimenopause when there is often excess estrogen produced, or too much estrogen relative to progesterone in the body. Estrogen acts as a central nervous system stimulant, while progesterone has a relaxing effect on the brain. With excess estrogen, symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety and irritability are common. The use of supplemental progesterone can balance estrogen and may help to promote sleep and calm mood.
