And that's just one of many things that we do during the day that can really benefit our sleep at night.
As well as daylight, there are lots of other things.
And we want to be calm because basically when we're stressed or anxious, sleep is much more difficult.
And we'll all have experienced that.
If you've got an exam the next day or you're going through a difficult time in your life, sleep is harder.
So what we can do during the day and before bed at nighttime
to help us be as calm and relaxed as possible will also help us to sleep and the things that we've all heard about like you know we don't have lots of caffeine right before bed we don't want to have lots of alcohol that really affects our sleep quality so keeping ourselves comfortable not stressed and doing the right things during the day you know getting outside keeping active
They'll all help to give us the better chance of having a decent night's sleep.
We have it hard, really, because during times of getting our periods, so monthly menstruation, our hormone levels change.
And there's lots of difficulty with sleeping.
Lots of people have difficulty sleeping around the time of their period.
When we get pregnant, again, hormone levels are changing.
People can struggle to sleep when they stop being pregnant.
And then during menopause, perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause.
When those hormones are fluctuating, it can have a really massive impact on our sleep.
But not only that, specifically menopause, when we're having those physical symptoms like the hot flushes at night, the night sweats, the palpitations, the anxiety surges, all of these things can really directly impact our sleep.
Because of course, if you wake up in the middle of the night and you are literally covered in sweat, you can't just roll over and go, oh, well, go back to sleep again, because you physically have to do something to get yourself more able to go back to sleep again.
So often menopause around that time is when sleep suddenly becomes quite fragmented because we're being woken up by these night sweats or hot flashes or palpitations, all of these things.
And especially if you haven't struggled with fragmented sleep before, if you've been someone who was a great sleeper, you know, I can fall asleep at half ten, wake up at seven, not wake up, then that's a huge change.
And people can start to really worry about that.
