Sleep and Menopause in South Bend
The Role of Sleep in Cardiovascular Health During Perimenopause
Sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health, especially during perimenopause. As women transition through menopause, they often experience sleep disturbances that can significantly impact their heart health. At Candescent Health and Wellness in South Bend, IN, we understand the importance of addressing these concerns to promote overall well-being.
The Perimenopause-Sleep-Heart Health Connection
During perimenopause, hormonal changes can lead to various sleep issues, including insomnia and poor sleep quality. These sleep disturbances are not just inconvenient; they can have serious implications for cardiovascular health. Research has shown that peri- and postmenopausal women with sleep problems may have worse cardiovascular health compared to their premenopausal counterparts.
How Sleep Affects Cardiovascular Health
Poor sleep during perimenopause can impact cardiovascular health in several ways:
Increased arterial stiffness
Higher risk of hypertension
Elevated risk of coronary heart disease
Greater likelihood of stroke
Studies have found that sleep disorder is an independent risk factor associated with arterial stiffness in peri-postmenopausal women. This highlights the importance of addressing sleep issues as part of a comprehensive approach to heart health during this transitional period.
