LIVE WELL • SLEEP

Build a bedroom that works
with your changing sleep.

Create a calmer, cooler sleep environment during menopause with practical bedroom adjustments for temperature, light, noise and comfort.

Start with temperature

Night sweats and hot flashes can interrupt sleep during the menopause transition. NIA recommends practical measures such as keeping the bedroom cool, using a fan and dressing in layers that are easy to remove.

Make light and noise easier to control

A dark, quiet environment can make sleep less vulnerable to unnecessary disruption. Blackout curtains, an eye mask or simple noise management may help depending on your room and preferences.

Comfort products are tools, not cures

Cooling bedding, breathable sleepwear or a fan may improve comfort, but they do not treat the underlying causes of persistent sleep problems. If poor sleep continues or significantly affects daily life, discuss it with a healthcare professional.
