Perimenopause: Counting Sheep and Still No Sleep.
- Authors
Lloyd, Robin M.; Files, Julia A.; Mayer, Anita P.
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 48-year-old perimenopausal woman, experiencing progressive weight gain and snoring and has had problems with sleep. The patient was evaluated and diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). She was referred to a sleep therapist for treatment and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is recommended. Sleep difficulties in perimenopause tend to be multifactorial and require a multidisciplinary approach.
