Dr. Wolfe:
We know that estrogen helps women sleep better. We know it helps to control their breathing at night. We know that it helps them to stay asleep easier. As women go through menopause and they lose estrogen, hot flashes can wake them up, but even without hot flashes, they just have poor quality sleep. Hormone replace therapy, if a woman is receiving it, will help them to sleep better.
