Cortisol

During menopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels impact the body's regulation of cortisol, often causing cortisol levels to rise, particularly during the night. This increased cortisol can be linked to a range of menopausal symptoms, such as insomnia, night sweats, and early morning wakefulness, commonly occurring between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Cortisol, known as the “stress hormone,” is typically at its lowest during restful periods. However, for menopausal women, hormonal changes can lead to imbalances in cortisol secretion, making it difficult to stay asleep through the night.

Menopausal hormonal shifts also reduce the body’s ability to regulate stress effectively, making it more challenging to relax and transition into deep sleep phases. The relationship between estrogen and cortisol is significant because estrogen typically helps moderate cortisol levels. As estrogen decreases, cortisol may spike more frequently, leading to those wakeful periods when the mind feels unusually alert. These fluctuations can lead to a cycle where poor sleep further elevates cortisol, which in turn exacerbates sleep disruptions.

Indulge in the Cortisol Cocktail if you're experiencing interrupted sleep due to menopause.
