“What helps with insomnia other than progesterone, Dr Enzmann?” Konnie asked on Instagram the other day.

I’m Dr Christina Enzmann and I share with you lots of supplements that can help alongside good sleep hygiene. I also give context to how these work. Because oestrogen also affects the breakdown pathways of neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin, dopamine), among other things, the decline in oestrogen has a corresponding negative impact on mood and sleep for some menopausal women.

Here are my tips:

🌿 Valerian
🌿 Hops
🌿 Helmet weed
🌿 Passion flower
🌿 Camomile
🌿 Californian corn poppy

preferably as an extract and in combination

like to take 1 hour before bedtime and then again right before falling asleep

😴 the sleep hormone melatonin (does not help all women)

Food supplements:

😴 GABA – this is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and an important neurotransmitter. It has a calming effect and makes it easier for you to fall asleep.

😴 Vitamin B complex (take in the morning)

😴 L-theanine: is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that also has a relaxing effect (be careful when driving or working with machines!)

😴 Phosphatidylserine: is a phospholipid and is also found in white beans

Also:

🍳 Eat proteins at every meal.

Pay attention to good sleep hygiene or routine

📺 Switch off screens

🛀🏻 (Foot) bath with lavender

🛌🏽 get into a horizontal position an hour beforehand

🕶️ Sleeping glasses or a completely darkened bedroom

Respect circadian rhythms:

☀️ exposure to sunlight in the morning helps you sleep better at night

As a general rule, always measure before you eat. Take the tips here and discuss them with your doctor or alternative practitioner. You need experts who can give you good advice.
