If you’re a woman who is going through menopause or perimenopause and is waking up feeling like you just ran a marathon, you’re not alone. Night sweats can make it hard to get the rest you need; thankfully, treatment may help. Here, we’ll look at some tips you can use to get your best rest.
Maintain a Cool Sleep Environment
Using air conditioning, fans, or opening your windows can all help you keep your room at a comfortable temperature at night. Wearing light pajamas made of breathable fabrics can also help you stay cool.
Manage Stress
Stress can exacerbate hormonal changes that make it hard to stay cool at night. Incorporating meditation, deep breathing, or yoga into your daily routine (as well as developing a wind-down routine before going to sleep) can help to ward off night sweats.
Adjust Your Diet
Avoiding spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol before you turn in for the night may help you maintain a more consistent body temperature while you sleep. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help, but be sure to taper off your water intake a few hours before bedtime.
