The incidence of sleep disorders ranges from 16% to 47% at peri-menopause and 35%\u201360% at postmenopause. Insomnia with or without associated anxiety or low lying depression and Mood disorder is most common associated manifestations. Sleep disorders and insomnia largely remain a clinical diagnosis based on the subjective complaints of patients. Benzodiazepines remain the mainstay of the treatment in majority of the sleep disorders including chronic or acute insomnia. Treatment of associated anxiety, depression, or psychosis is most important. Tricyclic antidepressant, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI), Melatonin, Duloxetine, Fluoxetine, Imipramine, Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline and other drugs such as Eszopiclone, Escitalopram, Gabapentin, Quiteiapine, Citalopram, Mirtazapine followed by long-acting Melatonin and Ramelteon, also are very useful for the management of various sleep disorders. Hormone replacement therapy presently lacks concrete evidence to be used in menopausal women for sleep disorder. Sleep hygiene practices, self-hypnosis, meditation, and exercise play a very important role.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_18_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T06:58:20Z","timestamp":1651474700000},"page":"26-33","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Menopause and Sleep Disorders"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Vishal R.","family":"Tandon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudhaa","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annil","family":"Mahajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akhil","family":"Mahajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Apurva","family":"Tandon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"196","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2018.04.005","article-title":"Sleep in women across the life span","volume":"154","author":"Pengo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R2-8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"bqaa128","DOI":"10.1210\/endocr\/bqaa128","article-title":"Role of ovarian hormones in the modulation of sleep in females across the adult lifespan","volume":"161","author":"Brown","year":"2020","journal-title":"Endocrinology"},{"key":"R3-8-20240906","first-page":"19","article-title":"Sleep difficulty in women at midlife: A community survey of sleep and the menopausal transition","volume":"10","author":"Kravitz","year":"2003","journal-title":"Menopause"},{"key":"R4-8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1097\/01.JNR.0000387536.60760.4e","article-title":"Exploring quality of sleep and its related factors among menopausal women","volume":"13","author":"Hsu","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Nurs Res"},{"key":"R5-8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsmc.2018.04.011","article-title":"Sleep and sleep disorders in the menopausal transition","volume":"13","author":"Baker","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sleep Med Clin"},{"key":"R6-8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1961","DOI":"10.1111\/1756-185X.13713","article-title":"Fibromyalgia, sleep disturbance and menopause: Is there a relationship.
