If you’ve woken up at 3 a.m. kicking off the covers, flipping your pillow to the cool side, or changing into a dry shirt, you’re far from alone. Half of women ages 45 to 64 say menopause disrupts their sleep, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and in the group’s 2025 survey, more than a third (35 percent) blamed hot flashes or night sweats. Falling estrogen affects how your body regulates temperature, so even a slight rise in body temperature can set off a flash that wakes you up.
You can’t change your hormones overnight, but you can change what you sleep in and on. From moisture-wicking pajamas and breathable sheets to a bed cooling system that keeps your mattress cool all night, these products can help you stay cooler, sleep longer and wake up rested.
