Women\u2019s sleep in midlife can be influenced by general aging and menopause \u2014 often at the same time \u2014 but health care providers can learn to spot differences to more effectively treat patients. Sleep disturbances are common for aging men and women, but hormonal changes brought on by menopause are unique and can require different, or additional, forms of treatment.<\/p>\n

From sleep interruption to early sleep and wake times, changes in sleep begin in midlife and continue to progress as people age.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe largest difference [with age] is the inability to stay asleep,\u201d said Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD,<\/strong> chief of sleep medicine in the department of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. <\/em>\u201c[Older people] have more awakenings … and also wake up earlier than desired. That is true for both sexes. Some individuals also have difficulty falling asleep, but with age, the factor is really difficulty staying asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although these sleep disturbances begin to become more common around age 55 years, they progress over time.<\/p>\n
