The Science of Sleep

For many menopausal women, sleep is a huge issue! I have struggled with it for years, even before menopause, because of a chronic pain condition from a car accident in 1992. This article talks about the science of sleep , it's got some pretty good information to learn more about insomnia. One caveat, however, one does not always need prescription sleeping pills to alleviate the problem, and in some cases, long term use of prescription meds can make the problem worse. I take 5 mg of Melatonin each night, it isn't perfect, but lots better (and way, way cheaper) than the Ambien I used to take. There is another product out there that my doctor recommends, it's called Nature ZZZZs, I had so so results but everyone is different.
