Her night · fifty one

3:20 am

Hot at 3:20. Cold at 3:50. Awake until five.

Nearly half of women in perimenopause sleep badly, and most of them are told to put up with it. Start with the room.

The story

The night nobody warned you about.

  1. 3:20 am

    Heat from nowhere. Covers off, pillow flipped, window open.

  2. 3:50 am

    Cold now. Covers on. The streetlamp, his breathing, the fridge. You hear and see all of it, because this sleep is thinner than it used to be.

  3. 5:00 am

    Still awake, working out how many hours are left.

  4. All day

    You carry it. Fog, short temper, the mirror. Nobody told you this part would last years.

  5. Tonight

    You cannot switch the flushes off from the bedroom. You can make the bed cooler, the room darker and the night quieter, so that when you wake, you go back to sleep.

Cooler, darker, quieter

Three things, one for each reason you wake.

None of these treats menopause or its symptoms. They change the room you sleep in. For the flushes themselves, talk to your doctor. You have options, and you do not have to put up with it.

More nightsmore broken sleep

In the SWAN study, the more nights a woman had hot flushes or night sweats, the more likely she was to report disturbed sleep.

2nd halfof the night is lighter

Deep sleep is packed into the first hours. By three you are in lighter, dreaming sleep, and whatever is in the room wins: a sound, a light, the heat, an aching hip.
