First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether teaching women in menopause about good sleep habits (sleep hygiene) could improve their sleep quality and reduce common menopause symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes. Seventy women who had not had a period for at least a year took part. They received face-to-face training, and researchers measured sleep and symptoms before and after. The goal was to see if a non-drug approach could help.
