Insomnia

Insomnia is a frequent problem that we all face with normal aging. Normal aging, by itself, greatly affects production of all hormones (e.g. pituitary hormones, testosterone, thyroid, estradiol, progesterone, melatonin, insulin, and cortisol). This greatly contributes to sleep disruption by disturbing the production of catecholamines, GABA, endorphins and other neurotransmitters in the brain. Difficulty in falling or staying asleep is especially common among perimenopausal and menopausal women. On top of that, alteration in hormone balance predisposes people to weight gain and loss of muscle tone, resulting in the development of sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, night cramps and other sleep pathology. Chronic inflammatory conditions such as chronic bronchitis, arthritis, neuropathies, and fibromyalgia add to the night aches, coughing, and breathing difficulties. Frequent trips to the bathroom are another frequent complaint of our new patients. All those issues, in turn, further aggravate sleep disruptions and usher in chronic fatigue.
