Menopause Guide
Managing Menopausal Symptoms
Cool off your room. Install an overhead fan or buy a standing fan and aim it right at the bed. Open a window or lower the air conditioner. If your partner is too cold, toss him or her an extra blanket.
Go natural. Either sleep in the nude, with just a thin sheet covering you, or stick to light, all-cotton or all-silk sleep clothes.
And remember, even if you are taking hormone therapy to manage your menopausal symptoms, incorporating these lifestyle changes should make the medication more effective and may enable you to take a lower dose.
