I found some website that were promoting progesterone "supplements" but seems a bit scary to just order this type of thing over the internet. Then i found this site,http://www.bodylogicmd.com/bioidentical-hormone-therapy-for-women. I starting seeing a a speciaist in aging and menopause and he agreed that progesterone along with my calming tea and soft music, may work but he insisted I have my hormone levels checked before coming to any assumptions. that made me feel much more comfortable and I am sleeping through the night now (even having less stressful evenings). I reay wanted to do this without hormones, but how can I discount the benfits of a good nights sleep and how much better I feel during the day becasue of it.

There is also allergies, arthritis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, sleep apnea and Parkinson's disease to name a few other causes. In your review post you should always recommend that someone see a doctor first when sleep is a problem to rule out medical reasons for this coming up during menopause. When we enter into menopause it is always good to see our doctors and a good nutritionist. You neglect to mention thyroid issues, adrenal problems and hormones as a possible issue with sleep.
