article (in daily mail) about sleep and menopause

[southeastastra]

\link{http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-1324506/Why-change-isnt-good-rest.html\here} i found it really interesting and i get this alot, but i'm only 41, could it be the same thing?

I get middle of night anxiety and 'dwelling' on stuff and generally rather maudlin thoughts but I don't know if that is it.

I'm 41 too.

was panicking that i'm getting early menopause

I don't know. Do you need to have some of the other symptoms?

I don't think I am - I'm just a natural mitherer. Definitely need less sleep though.

Thanks for posting this. I was talking to my sister about this only yesterday and even did a search on MN for insomnia. I am 51, still menstruating regularly, but every so often (twice this week) I wake up in the early hours and lie in bed worrying. The worrying is intense and I can't stop it even tho' I know that if it was daytime i wouldn't be worrying. I have to get up and do sometning: read, go on MN etc and drink some camomile tea. Good to know it's not the onset of depression or something!

it's interesting isn't it?

i get hot at night no other symptons really

Found this very interesting if i have to get up in the night or woken up i have a horrible feeling of depression and doom. There has been no change in my periods but occasionally i have been aware of having night sweats . Also a couple have times have felt the heating has been turned on when it hasn't.I guess it is the start of it i have just been a bit slow in putting two and two together.
