POOR FOCUS

Some of the earliest symptoms of menopause are frequent waking at night and poor focus. These two symptoms are linked together because poorer quality sleep interferes with rapid eye movements (REM) during sleep. REM is critical to all sorts of thought processes such as problem solving and short-term memory. Going without adequate sleep over time can impair these cognitive functions, leading to a decreased ability to focus and concentrate, a decline in memory, and chronic fatigue. Until you start treating the hormone deficiencies causing the problems, the cycle of menopausal symptoms will not stop. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can help regain your youthfulness of your 30s.
