Hot flushes are one of the most common and most bothersome symptoms of menopause. Here are some tips to help you cope.
Insomnia
Insomnia (sleeplessness) can be caused by hot flushes occurring at night which may be accompanied by night sweats (night-time hot flushes) as a result of fluctuating hormone levels. Insomnia may already be experienced some years before menopause, and it is a problem mainly because it can cause daytime tiredness.
