According to the NIH, the overall prevalence of sleep disorders among postmenopausal women was 51.6%. About a third of women’s lives around the world are affected by disrupted sleep and menopause, and both of these have a large effect on their health. Sleep disturbance is a significant issue for midlife women and poor sleep has been shown to increase a woman’s risk for Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, metabolic disease, and heart health.

Here are some more stats:

-10-30% of adults struggle with chronic insomnia

-Women have a 40% increase in insomnia due to declining sex hormones

-Menopause impacts women's sleep 2x more than men's

-Alcohol disrupts sleep

-80% of adults who use sleep medications report oversleeping, lack of focus, and grogginess, leading to neurodegeneration
