Trouble Sleeping or Insomnia in Women:
Hormone Therapy for Better Rest
If you spend your nights tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, or waking up feeling more exhausted than when you went to bed, you understand the deep frustration of insomnia. For millions of women, especially during times of hormonal transition, sleep disturbances are a nightly battle.
At EVEXIAS Health Solutions, we know that poor sleep is not a personal failing; it's a powerful signal that your body's internal chemistry is out of balance. Using the EvexiPEL® Method and supported by our nationwide network of expert providers, we help women uncover the hormonal root causes of their sleep struggles and create personalized plans to finally achieve deep, restorative rest.
Signs and Symptoms of Hormonally Driven Sleep Issues
While everyone has a bad night now and then, hormonally driven insomnia has a distinct pattern. Look for these common signs:
- Difficulty Falling Asleep: You feel "tired but wired," unable to quiet your racing thoughts even when you're physically exhausted
- Frequent Night Waking: You wake up multiple times throughout the night, often for no apparent reason, especially between 2 and 4 AM
- Night Sweats: You are jolted awake drenched in sweat, forcing you to change your clothes or sheets and disrupting your sleep cycle
- Waking Up Too Early: You wake up hours before your alarm and are unable to fall back asleep
- Feeling Unrefreshed: You wake up feeling groggy, foggy, and just as tired as when you went to bed, regardless of how many hours you were asleep
- Daytime Consequences: You experience significant daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and increased anxiety as a direct result of poor sleep
Why Do Hormones Wreak Havoc on a Woman's Sleep?
Restful sleep is an intricate biological process orchestrated by your hormones. When they become imbalanced, your natural sleep-wake cycle is thrown into chaos.
The main hormonal culprits behind insomnia are:
- Low Progesterone: Progesterone is your body's natural "calming" hormone. It has a sedative-like effect that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. When progesterone levels drop, as they do in perimenopause and due to stress, anxiety levels rise, and sleep becomes fragmented
- Low Estrogen: Declining estrogen levels are the primary cause of night sweats and hot flashes, which can jolt you awake multiple times a night. Estrogen also plays a role in regulating body temperature for optimal sleep
- High Cortisol: Chronic stress keeps your cortisol levels elevated at night when they should be at their lowest. This creates a "tired but wired" state, preventing your brain and body from relaxing enough to initiate sleep
- Thyroid Imbalance: Both an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), which can cause a racing heart and anxiety, and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can disrupt sleep architecture
