Feeling Like Yourself Again This Summer Starts With Sleep
Summer in Australia is beautiful - but it can be relentless, especially for women moving
through perimenopause and menopause. As hormones fluctuate, the body’s ability to regulate temperature, stress and sleep can shift, making hot nights, night sweats and fragmented sleep far more common. Many women wake already exhausted, foggy and feeling out of sync before the day has even begun.
Sleep plays a vital role in mood, focus, emotional regulation and hormone balance. During perimenopause and menopause, changes in oestrogen and progesterone can disrupt sleep patterns, while elevated cortisol levels can make it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep and feel restored. Over time, poor sleep can quietly erode energy, resilience and everyday wellbeing.
According to research by OmniPoll undertaken with Rest Australia, 51% of Australians - men and women - identify as “hot sleepers,” experiencing disrupted sleep at each week due to overheating. While warmer temperatures affect many people, the research also highlights that perimenopause and menopause are cited as a contributing factor by 28% of women overall, rising to 57% among women aged 45–65. For many, hormonal change is not a passing phase, but an ongoing influence on sleep and quality of life.

Cool the room: Hormonal thermoregulation is real. Lowering the bedroom temperature, using fans, or choosing breathable, temperature-regulating bedding - like Rest Evercool® Bedding Bundles - can help reduce overheating and night sweats.
