1. How To Sleep
Better During Your
Period?

2. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 30 percent of
women have disrupted sleep during menstruation.

3. 1. You feel anxious
Mood swings are common
before and during your
period. You may feel
irritable and anxious and
find it hard to fall asleep at
night.
Why Is It Difficult To Sleep During Your Period?
2. You feel hot
Your body temperature
rises by about half a
degree during your periods,
and this can make it harder
to sleep.
3. You get cramps
Muscle contractions and
cramps are other common
occurrences. The
discomfort in the lower
abdomen and lower back
– can be extreme. Either
way, sleeping can be a
challenge.

4. Sleeping Positions That Can Contribute To Better Sleep

5. In A Fetal Position
This the best sleeping position
when you have your period. It
takes pressure off the
abdominal muscles and
reduces tension which in turn
minimizes cramps. It can also
help prevent leakage as your
legs are squeezed together.

6. On Your Side
If you find the fetal position
uncomfortable, try straightening
your body a little. Your legs will
still be closed together to avoid
leakage, and your stomach
muscles will also be relaxed. You
can use full body pillows in order
to get more comfortable.

7. Tips To Sleep Better During Your Period

8. 1. Eat Light
Women experience cravings
during their period, but it’s
important to eat light to prevent
digestive troubles at night. If you
get hungry at bedtime, snack on
a healthy item like a piece of fruit.
Avoid sugary, fatty foods; they
may taste great, but they’ll keep
you up at night.

9. 2. Use Heat To Relieve
Period Pains
If you have menstrual cramps,
you can use heat therapy to
reduce the pain. Place a warm
pad or warm water bottle on
your lower abdomen to relax
the muscles of the uterus and
increase blood flow.

10. 3. Try Herbal Home
Remedies
Certain herbs can help reduce
pain during your period. Try
having chamomile tea to relax
and lower inflammation and
ease muscle spasms.
Chasteberry is also believed to
stabilize hormones and improve
symptoms of premenstrual
syndrome (PMS).

11. 4. Work Out
Working out increases your body
temperature which gradually
dips and encourages you to fall
asleep. It may also help reduce
menstrual cramps. What’s more,
exercise releases endorphins.
These chemicals boost the mood
and decrease feelings of anxiety
and depression that may occur
as part of PMS.

12. 5. Get Comfortable
It goes without saying that a
comfortable environment can
help you sleep better. This
includes keeping your
bedroom cool to counter the
period-related rise in body
temperature. It also includes
using pillows & sleeping on a
good mattress.
