Insomnia during the menstrual cycle, particularly during your period, can be frustrating and exhausting. Understanding the hormonal changes and implementing targeted strategies can help improve your sleep quality during this time.


Hormonal Influences on Sleep

Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone during your menstrual cycle can significantly impact sleep patterns, often leading to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.


Managing Physical Discomfort

Period-related discomfort such as cramps, bloating, and breast tenderness can interfere with sleep. Using heating pads, comfortable positioning, and pain relief can help.


Sleep Hygiene During Menstruation

Maintaining consistent sleep schedules, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and practicing relaxation techniques can help combat period-related insomnia.
