yes it is. one of the reason for sleep problems is the drop in estrogen levels. sometimes insomnia is also associated with irritability and nervousness...

i'm having this problem before.you know what?this isn't really a big problem.if you are having difficulties in sleeping specially at night, all you need to do is to not sleep at day time so that when the night comes, you will be able to sleep well.this is called time switching!

menopause is the most common time for women to experience sleep difficulties or insomnia. estrogen plays a big role for this. it is important to see you gyne for treatments.

sleeping pills are no longer advisable to use especially if you're on your menopause stage. it can cause a lot of complications.

there are a lot of treatments to consider for treating insomnia. you don't necessarily need sleeping pills. treatments may include lifestyle changes, sleeping habit and complementary medicines.

in some cases, sleeping pills can help you with your insomnia. but because long term use of sleep medicines causes side effects, it's no longer advisable to use them.
