A woman’s menopause is a very difficult time. It is also painful to gain weight during various body changes. As the female hormone (estrogen) decreases significantly, triglyceride fat accumulates in the body and weight increases. There is another important cause. If you don’t get a good night’s sleep due to hot flashes and emotional changes, you may gain weight. Why?
◆ How many hours a day do I sleep as I continue to gain weight? . Why weight gain?
Not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain. Lack of sleep, sleeping less than six hours each day, can lead to an imbalance in appetite-regulating hormones. At this time, as appetite increases, food (calorie) intake increases, which can cause obesity. In Koreans, it is reported that sleeping less than 5 hours a day increases the risk of obesity (data from the Korean Society of Obesity). If you do not lose weight even after reducing your food intake and exercising, you should check your sleep time.
◆ Why can’t I sleep well at night?… Fever, sweat? what else?
Menopausal women are troubled by symptoms of fever and sweating at night. In summer as well as in the middle of winter, there are cases where you wake up and turn on the fan. Of course, the stress is increasing and I can’t sleep properly. This is a major theme in menopausal disorders. At international academic conferences such as the North American Menopausal Society (NAMS), papers studying middle-aged women’s diseases leading to hot flashes, night sweats, stress, and sleep disorders are being published one after another.
◆ Excessive napping leads to eating sweets… A vicious cycle of fattening and harming health
If you do not sleep well at night, you will be sleepy during the day. A nap of 20 to 30 minutes a day can relieve fatigue and energize your life, but excessive naps of 40 minutes or more can cause you to be unable to sleep at night again. Studies have shown that long naps can lead to cardiovascular disease and dementia. It is also a downside to go to junk food such as sweet food due to gluttony. A vicious cycle of gaining weight and ruining your health can occur.
◆ Couples use each room… Exercising, avoiding naps, warm milk, etc.
Middle-aged women have to make various efforts to get a good night’s sleep. If your husband’s snoring is severe and his sleeping pattern is different, try using each room. Even if you are sleepy during the day, you can practice not taking a nap at all. It is good to exercise after dinner, such as walking briskly.
It is also good to take a shower with lukewarm water an hour before going to bed and drink warm milk containing magnesium, which is good for muscle relaxation. Finding peace of mind through meditation can also help. These days are the worst tropical nights. You should pay special attention to the temperature of the bedroom so that you do not wake up in the heat.
