What should I know about schlafstorungen bei wechseljahre?

Sleep disorders during menopause are common and primarily driven by hormonal changes: declining estrogen disrupts thermoregulation (hot flashes, night sweats) and melatonin production. Psychological factors like stress and mood swings also contribute. The evidence for these links is human-strong (e.g., PMID 30957793). MyBody-X DNA tests do not measure current hormone levels or sleep architecture; they only assess genetic predispositions (e.g., melatonin metabolism, stress response). Such a test cannot replace clinical evaluation (hormone panel, sleep study). Practical tips: keep the bedroom cool, wear breathable fabrics, avoid alcohol and heavy meals before bed. If symptoms persist, consult a gynecologist or sleep specialist. Evidence: human-strong for hormonal mechanisms, but MyBody-X tests provide only supplementary genetic insights, not a diagnosis.
