In a woman's life, menopause is just but normal. This stage is characterized by the end of a woman's monthly period. Usually, people use the terms "the change" and "the change of life" to refer to menopause. During menopause, hormones estrogen and progesterone are slowly produced. This slow production leads to the insufficiency of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Most often, menopause happens between ages 45 and 55. Trouble sleeping or experiencing insomnia is caused by lack of estrogen in the body. Low estrogen level is also is the cause of night sweats, vaginal dryness and hot flashes. Anxiety, irritability and headaches are rooted to low level of progesterone.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopause and its symptoms work by giving a woman estrogen and progestin. Hormone Replacement Therapy is advisable for women suffering from menopause syndromes like trouble sleeping.
