Changing positions can ease snoring but it’s not a cure.
Side sleeping may help reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea, but if you find yourself needing to sit up just to breathe, that’s a red flag.

If you can't breathe easy, it's time to take it seriously.

Sleep disorders & how is it related to menopause?

Quick Fact:
If you’ve struggled with sleep problems before, they can often worsen during postmenopause.

What are Sleep Disorders?
They’re conditions that disrupt normal sleep patterns, leading to insomnia, snoring, or even sleep apnea. Many women in postmenopause report:
Waking up frequently
Tossing and turning all night
Struggling to fall asleep

Why Does This Happen?
• Psychological factors: stress, overwork, or emotional strain.
• Physical factors: hormonal changes, especially declining estrogen, which reduces serotonin and melatonin (your body’s sleep hormone).

What Can Help?
• Keep your bedroom cool and ventilated
• Wear loose, breathable clothing
• Stick to a consistent bedtime
• Avoid caffeine and heavy meals before bed
• Exercise (but not right before sleep)
• Skip daytime naps

Maintaining healthy hormone levels alongside lifestyle changes is key to managing sleep disorders after menopause.

Can Your Thyroid Cause Sleep Apnea?

When your thyroid doesn’t make enough thyroxine (hypothyroidism), it can cause:
• Swelling in the thyroid
• Weight gain
• Weakened breathing muscles

All of these can increase your risk of sleep apnea.

If you have thyroid issues and struggle with poor sleep, a sleep apnea test could make all the difference.

Sleep + Alcohol: What You Need to Know
Sure, that glass of wine might make you feel drowsy… but did you know it can actually disrupt your sleep?

Alcohol often leads to fragmented, lower-quality rest
It slows the central nervous system and can worsen breathing in people with sleep apnea
Untreated sleep apnea + alcohol = increased health risks

For better, healthier sleep, skip the nightcap.
