I recently posted this, but could tell by the answers that I needed to be more specific about a few things. First, I do NOT have hot flashes. In fact, in spite of entering meno, I still have estrogen dominance occasionally..about every 3 months or so. But this occurs whether I have it or not.

Also, this is NOT insomnia as far as not falling asleep. I fall asleep fine. I just wake up constantly after 2-3 am. Still tired, but constantly waking up. Aggravating.

As far as my progesterone–yes, it’s low. But it fell low years ago, with no sleep issues. I ONLY started having them when I finally stopped all periods about six months ago. Before that, even with rock-bottom progesterone, I fell asleep fine.

I have started using Melatonin–noticed nothing so far. Yes, I’m aware that you have to be careful with it.

Any suggestions on how to stay asleep? Certain herbs?

Well, here I am, a person who has ALWAYS slept like a rock. But since entering meno, I now wake up constantly after 3 am…..and I have started to SNORE!!!! I don’t have hot flashes, so can’t blame that. Are there any herbs that would help with the sleep issue?? This is maddening.
By the way, this is not insomnia. Insomnia is having trouble falling asleep. I fall asleep fine. This is waking up at 3-4 am, and waking up several more times before it’s time to get up for real. I also have no symptoms of estrogen dominance, nor do I have symptoms of too low estrogen i.e. hot flashes. And this is not peri-meno. I am now IN meno. .
