Special Populations
Sleep Issues in Perimenopausal Women
Featuring:
  • Veronica Ravnikar,
  • MD, Kin Yuen,
  • MD, Rafael Pelayo, MD

    • Perimenopausal sleep complaints remain under treated despite their high prevalence. It is believed that these disturbances are caused by estrogen withdrawal and accompanying symptoms like hot flashes. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clinical studies clearly demonstrating that these disturbances are directly caused by estrogen withdrawal vs. the affects of aging.

    • In the United States, sleep deprivation in women has reached epidemic proportions and is more common in women than men. According to the National Sleep Foundation, over one half of women suffer from sleep deprivation. This is mostly observed during the workweek. A 2002 National Sleep foundation survey of all adults revealed that women are more likely than men to have difficulty falling and staying asleep and to experience more daytime sleepiness at least a few nights/days a week.
