What are the solutions for insomnia during menstruation?

Women have their periods for a few days every month, and they will have many troubles during these days, such as frequent dysmenorrhea. This pain is very uncomfortable, and the individual's mood will become very irritable. These will cause women to often not sleep at night and have obvious insomnia. The body is already very weak during menstruation. If you suffer from insomnia, your mood and body will become very bad the next day.

Therefore, in order for women to solve the problem of insomnia during menstruation, they must first solve some of the uncomfortable symptoms of menstruation and do the following to solve the symptoms of insomnia.

1. Choose the right sanitary napkin

A sanitary napkin with strong breathability, good texture and strong leakage prevention ability can make your sleep during menstruation worry-free.

2. Eat a healthy diet

Your metabolism during menstruation is slightly stronger than usual, but that doesn’t mean you can overeat. As the saying goes, if your stomach is not in harmony, you will not sleep well. Overeating can easily lead to indigestion, stomach discomfort, and then cause insomnia. During menstruation, try to choose light, easily digestible, nutritious foods. If you really want to eat, eat small meals frequently.

3. Moderate exercise

Maintaining or increasing exercise in the week before your period can improve sleep by maintaining a chemical balance in your brain, while also providing psychological pleasure. But please note that swimming and strenuous exercise should be avoided during menstruation.

4. Manage your emotions

Maintaining a good mental state, being optimistic, confident, and open-minded, and arranging life, work, and study reasonably will help get rid of insomnia during menstruation.

5. Avoid stimulation

Coffee, tea, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. will stimulate emotions during menstruation and aggravate breast pain, thereby inducing or aggravating insomnia. Therefore, you should control stimulating foods such as coffee, tea, chocolate, cigarettes, and alcohol in order to get a good sleep.

Female friends must relax themselves during the menstrual period. Only by controlling their emotions and calming their minds can they relieve physical discomfort and the symptoms of insomnia during menstruation. It can also help blood circulation. Special attention should be paid not to eat overly irritating foods and to pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation. It is also important to get enough rest during menstruation. Don’t let yourself get too tired and make sure you get enough nutrition in your diet.

6. What causes insomnia during menstruation?

It is also quite common for women to suffer from insomnia during menstruation. The reasons are roughly as follows. The first is that during menstruation, the hormone ratio in women's bodies will change. The estrogen in women's bodies will continue to change with ovulation and menstruation. If the estrogen secretion of women during menstruation is reduced to the minimum, it will physiologically make women nervous, affect sleep, and eventually cause insomnia.

Another problem is the incorrect selection of sanitary napkins for night use. Before going to bed, women are always worried about leakage, and as tension increases, insomnia may occur. Another thing is eating before going to bed. The feeling of fullness before going to bed makes women feel uncomfortable, and they feel even more uncomfortable in their stomach after lying down, which causes insomnia. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat two hours before going to bed.

Patients with the above conditions should never use sleeping pills to help them sleep, as this will do them more harm than good and will also make them dependent on sleeping pills. You can choose to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat your condition, which can greatly improve insomnia during menstruation.
