I actually when to my gyno and she started me in low dose birth control and my hot flushes are almost completely gone. I very rarely get them anymore. It's been awesome.

Get a bigger standup fan, light sheets. Use a cold humidifier may help. Low or no protein before bed meat beans and nuts make you run warm.

@Utahperson I didn't know about the protein, that's good to know because I'm on HRT and I still have night sweats

Yes, completely agree with the Hormone replacement therapy. Ask for bioidentical HRT it's going to be two medications estrogen and progesterone. I rarely have hot flashes any more. Life saver!
Hrt was my lifesaver,, still get occasional hot flush but nowhere near as bad . Fans - both upright & handheld- are extremely effective ❤️
I've been dealing w/menopause for 10 years now & it's driving me insane

I sleep with my ceiling fan on and thin lose pj's
May be down to the start of the menopause. It's treatable with HRT, and your doctor would be the best to help you too

I live in a dorm in florida so I can’t change the temp and it’s around 72 F in my room or higher. I invested in a nice tower fan with 3 settings. I also have a shitty desk fan aimed directly at my face. I occasionally sleep with ice packs or a cooling blanket. Love ice packs tho
@Beetlejuul Put ice packs behind the fans for extra cooling.
@ladycat ok
What temp is your room at night? Mine is usually 15-19°C, best temp for sleep is around 18°C. Keep a beach towel handy for lying on/drying off at night time. Eat well Drink enough water. For me with my outdoors job that's 2-3Litres every day Oct-Mar and as the weather warms, up to 6L per day. Sounds a lot? Only 500mg every ½ hour... Also wear loose-fitting, nonsynthetic clothing. I've actually stopped wearing bra etc. Feels comfortable and less sweaty. Maintain good hygiene and visit the Dr is you're at all concerned
