Night sweats and anxiety can make things worse, leaving you feeling exhausted the next day.
To improve rest, set a regular bedtime, limit caffeine and screen time in the evening, and try mindfulness or relaxation techniques before bed. A comfortable, cool sleep environment also makes a big difference.
6. The “Menopause Brain Fog” Is Real
Do you walk into a room and forget why? Lose your train of thought mid-sentence? You might be experiencing menopause-related brain fog.
This symptom can be frustrating, but it’s extremely common. Hormonal changes, sleep disruptions, and stress all affect memory and concentration.
Don’t worry — this fog usually lifts over time. Keeping your brain active with reading, puzzles, or learning something new can help keep your mind sharp.
7. A Decrease in Libido
If you’ve noticed a dip in your desire for intimacy, hormonal shifts could be the cause. Lower levels of estrogen and testosterone can influence both libido and physical comfort.
It’s not unusual, and it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you or your relationship. Menopause changes your body, but it doesn’t have to change your connection.
