40–60% of menopausal women report sleep problems.
Hot flashes don't clock out at bedtime. At night they're called night sweats, and women with moderate to severe hot flashes are almost 3× as likely to wake often at night as women without them. Worth logging: night sweats and wake-ups, evening alcohol, spice or caffeine, and how you felt the next day.
