Sleepme's Menopause Study: Understanding the Sleep Challenges

Ensuring that women in menopause have resources to improve their sleep is our passion. That’s what drove our involvement with a recent Wake Forest University menopause study [1] investigating the role of colder sleep and the worst symptoms of menopause: night sweats and hot flashes.

How Menopause and Hot Flashes Affect Your Sleep

Menopause usually occurs between ages 45-55. During menopause, night sweats and hot flashes are the main culprits for bad sleep. Bad sleep, as we know, doesn’t only cause a range of negative health effects, but it can also lead to women feeling exhausted and brain-fogged the next day, lacking energy for sports and activities, and missing out on better opportunities at work.

How You Can Cure Menopause Night Sweat

The Wake Forest study indicates that options exist for you to improve your sleep quality. For example, our sleep systems can cool your bed as low as 55°F and have been called the menopause night sweat cure because they allow users to find their ideal bed climate to improve their deep sleep allowing them to wake up rested and restored.

Women in the menopause study said sleepme’s cooling products significantly changed their sleep patterns and sleep ability.
