“…Insomnia problems are common in the climacteric period, however, there are no studies that correlate insomnia with estrogenic drop, being, therefore, more associated with the occurrence of hot ashes and emotional di culties 26 . Furthermore, studies show a positive relationship between the scores on the sleep scale and the score related to menopause, which highlights a worse quality of sleep in women who were experiencing this period 34 . Thus, insomnia, along with hot ashes, are the main complaints of women during menopause 28 .…”
