## Can menopause cause daytime fatigue because of poor sleep?

Yes. Menopause and perimenopause can absolutely cause daytime fatigue when your sleep gets disrupted. At Alloy, our sleep content notes that menopause-related insomnia can mean trouble falling asleep, waking through the night, waking too early, not feeling refreshed, and then feeling tired or sleepy during the day.

The sleep problems often come from hormone changes, especially shifts in estrogen and progesterone, and they can get worse with hot flashes, night sweats, waking to pee, anxiety, restless legs, or sleep apnea. A cool, dark bedroom, a steady sleep schedule, and cutting back on late caffeine, alcohol, and screen time can help. If you snore loudly, wake up gasping, or have morning headaches or dry mouth, it’s worth getting checked for sleep apnea too.

If hot flashes or night sweats are what’s breaking your sleep, treating those can help with next-day energy. Here at Alloy, treatment options include the [Estradiol Pill](https://www.myalloy.com/solutions/estradiol-pill) and the non-hormonal [Paroxetine](https://www.myalloy.com/solutions/paroxetine), depending on your medical history.
