Women aged between 40 and 60 experience an alarming average of just 6 hours and 36 minutes of sleep per night, largely due to insomnia and menopause-related symptoms. This has profound impacts on their health and relationships, with a significant portion facing increased arguments and emotional disconnection with their partners.
The research highlights that those in their late fifties are the most affected, averaging only 6 hours and 12 minutes of sleep. With symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, and anxiety, these women endure up to 10 days a month of insomnia, which severely affects their emotional well-being and quality of life.
Lisa Artis of The Sleep Charity emphasizes that menopause is more than just occasional hot flashes; it encompasses a wide range of challenging symptoms. Women navigating this phase often struggle with extreme fatigue, emotional disconnection, and heightened anxiety, suggesting an urgent need for better understanding and support.
Over the span of 20 years, women going through perimenopause and menopause could lose an astounding 425 days of sleep due to insufficient rest during these challenging years, illustrating the long-term impact of menopause on sleep health.
