Sleep Drops

Women are more affected by sleep problems due to the hormonal fluctuations that occur at different stages of life, such as the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and the menopause. These hormonal alterations have a direct influence on sleep regulation, making it difficult to achieve a good night's sleep. During the menopause, lower oestrogen and progesterone levels cause a significant increase in insomnia. In addition, women tend to be more exposed to factors such as stress, anxiety and multiple responsibilities (family and work), which increase the likelihood of suffering from sleep disorders.

Stress and insomnia are closely related, as stress activates the nervous system, making it difficult to relax and fall asleep. The constant worry and racing thoughts typical of stress can prolong the time it takes to fall asleep or cause frequent awakenings during the night. In women, this link is even more pronounced due to a greater tendency to experience anxiety and stress from daily demands, such as work and family responsibilities, which increases the risk of insomnia and affects sleep quality.

Lifestyle has an important impact on sleep quality. Habits such as irregular sleep schedules, consuming caffeine or alcohol before bedtime, and eating heavy meals at night can disrupt rest. Lack of physical activity contributes to difficulty falling asleep, while excessive screen time before bed affects circadian cycles by reducing melatonin production. Strategies such as maintaining stable routines, avoiding stimulants and engaging in relaxing activities before bedtime are key to improving sleep.
