Practice meditation, yoga, breathing exercises Get massages and other relaxing spa treatments Try talk therapy or join a support group
Maintain consistent bedtime schedule Limit caffeine, alcohol and screen time before bed Keep bedroom cool, dark and quiet Use white noise machine or app if needed
Aim for 30-60 minutes daily - walking, swimming, dancing Incorporate strength training 2-3 times a week Stretch regularly to improve flexibility

Many women are unaware that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an effective tool for managing menopause symptoms.
