Study Reveals Increasing Sleep Disorders Among Menopausal Women

Updated: Jun 16

Sleep problems are a common but often overlooked challenge faced by women during menopause, and new research sheds light on the scope of this issue. Dr. Álvaro Monterrosa, a gynecologist and lead researcher with the Women’s Health Research Group, presented findings that highlight the growing prevalence of sleep disturbances in women aged 40 to 59.


The study involved two groups of women from various regions, aiming to understand how sleep disorders manifest in this age group. The research showed that a significant number of menopausal women suffer from poor sleep quality, with recent data indicating an upward trend in these problems. Dr. Monterrosa explained that disrupted sleep negatively impacts the immune system, increasing vulnerability to infections and diminishing the effectiveness of vaccines.


Menopause naturally brings hormonal changes that can disrupt sleep patterns. Combined with factors such as stress, anxiety, and other health conditions, these changes can severely affect women’s quality of life. “Adequate sleep, between six to eight hours of restful quality, is essential for maintaining physical and mental health,” Dr. Monterrosa emphasized. He encouraged women experiencing persistent sleep difficulties to seek medical advice to identify underlying causes and receive appropriate treatment.


This research is vital as it underscores the importance of addressing sleep health in menopausal women, a demographic that often faces multiple physiological and emotional changes. Improving sleep quality can lead to better immune response, reduced health risks, and enhanced overall wellbeing.
