Why Sleep Disrupts During Menopause

Menopause and Sleep: How CBD & THC May Improve Rest Naturally

Sleep problems are one of the most common and frustrating menopause symptoms. Hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and hormonal changes can leave women tossing and turning. CBD and THC may offer natural support for better rest and improved quality of life.

Why Sleep Disrupts During Menopause

  • Hormonal changes: Declines in oestrogen and progesterone affect sleep regulation.
  • Hot flashes and night sweats: Sudden temperature shifts wake women during the night.
  • Mood swings and anxiety: Stress and irritability can prevent deep, restorative sleep.

How CBD and THC May Help Improve Sleep

  • CBD: Promotes relaxation, reduces nighttime anxiety, and may support deeper sleep cycles.
  • THC: In low doses, can reduce sleep latency (time to fall asleep) and ease physical discomfort that prevents rest.
  • Combination: Some women find relief by using CBD for daytime calm and low-dose THC for nighttime support.

Other Natural Strategies

  • Keep your bedroom cool and comfortable to minimise hot flashes.
  • Follow a consistent bedtime routine and avoid heavy meals late at night.
  • Limit caffeine and alcohol, especially close to bedtime.
  • Practice mindfulness or breathing exercises before sleep.

What to Ask Your Doctor

Discuss whether CBD or THC may be suitable, which format is best (oil, capsule, or edible), and safe dosages for your situation.
