Women who are entering menopause often feel changes in their mood. Anxiety, irritability, depression, and forgetfulness are unsavory but normal symptoms of this life-cycle change.

Changes in mood can affect your natural sleep cycle, so it is especially important to do what you can to keep your stress levels low so that it doesn’t impede restful sleep. If you are experiencing extreme mood swings or difficulty sleeping, be sure to talk to your doctor to find the right solution for you.
