Insomnia and The Menopause

Insomnia can be a real plague during the menopause, because this is precisely when you need the healing and uplifting power of sleep the most.

There are many remedies that can be of help in helping you sleep, including Valerian, Melatonin and even Homeopathy.

Try the different options and see what suits you best. Valerian is the most popular one and works very well on most.
The usual dose is 150 to 500mg of a standardised valerian extract about half an hour before bedtime.

Whatever you do, try not to get into the habit of taking prescription sedatives!
