Good, deep, refreshing sleep is often a casualty of perimenopause and menopause, as hormonal fluctuations, particularly in estrogen and progesterone, can wreak havoc on our sleep patterns. Whether it's menopausal sleeplessness, waking in the night and finding it difficult to fall back asleep, or being woken by a hot flush, breaking into a sweat, throwing off the bedclothes, then waking damp and frozen later in the night, several times per night, it's no wonder menopausal women can be tired and irritable. Add in extra stress if you're a mother with children working through exams; elderly parents needing assistance; a demanding professional position; or all of the above.

Recognising the importance of sleep during this phase of life is crucial, as it not only affects daily functioning but also the way we navigate the physical and emotional rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause.

The Menopause-Sleep Connection: Why Quality Rest Matters

Quality sleep is the body's reset button and is a fundamental pillar of overall well-being, but it's not just about the number of hours we’re getting each night; the quality of our sleep matters too. During deep sleep, the body engages in a range of essential maintenance tasks, often collectively referred to as restorative functions; these include tissue growth, cellular repair, memory consolidation, and regulating hormones that help manage stress, appetite, and mood.

Ongoing sleep problems can affect how you feel during the day, contributing to poor cognitive function (brain fog), as well as low energy, irritability, and mood swings, and can also exacerbate any other symptoms you are experiencing too. If sleep problems persist, talk to your doctor.

Discover Our Sleep Support for Menopause

Having been there ourselves and understanding what women need, when creating our Sleep supplement, we focused on ingredients traditionally used to ease nervous tension, support relaxation and promote deep sleep.

Our Sleep supplement combines herbal and nutritional ingredients: magnesium, which supports muscle relaxation and refreshing sleep, plus Californian poppy, passionflower and hops, which are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to induce sleep, improve sleep quality and relieve sleeplessness and restless sleep.

Here's a closer look at what's inside:

Magnesium Glycinate: Supporting Muscle Relaxation and Refreshing Sleep

Magnesium is an essential mineral, and magnesium glycinate is the form we chose for our Sleep formula.

When it comes to sleep, magnesium supports muscle relaxation and mind relaxation, and helps maintain refreshing sleep. It may also help relieve muscle cramps, including those uncomfortable night-time leg cramps.

Hops: A Traditional Herb for Calming Sleep

Hops has a long history in Western herbal medicine, where it is traditionally used to help calm the nerves, ease nervous tension, induce sleep and improve sleep quality.

Californian Poppy: Traditionally Used for Peaceful Sleep

Californian poppy, a vibrant orange wildflower native to California, is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve disturbed sleep, nervous tension, restlessness and symptoms of mild anxiety. The plant contains a range of bioactive compounds, particularly isoquinoline alkaloids.

Passionflower: Supporting Relaxation and Continuous Sleep

Passionflower is a Western herbal medicine that's been used for centuries to relieve sleeplessness, and it contains compounds such as flavonoids and alkaloids.

Passionflower is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help induce sleep, relieve restless sleep and restlessness, and relieve symptoms of mild anxiety.
