• Tackle more than the biggest NFL linebacker
• Sweat more than a NHL goalie
• Run around more than a 7-foot NBA player
• Log more car time than a Nascar driver
• Dive in deeper than an Olympic swimmer
• Carry more on our shoulders than a weight lifter

And we do all of this without the proper attire, sleep, training, and nutrition. Then we have the audacity to question why we aren't feeling well.

Getting the proper rest is key to managing menopausal symptoms.

Symptoms of not getting enough sleep are: sleepiness during the day,
general tiredness, irritability, and problems with concentration or memory.
Over 85% of women experience night sweats or temperature regulation problems at some point in their lives. This condition in women is most often caused by the hormonal fluctuations during menopause. Many doctors and sleep experts agree that moisture wicking sleepwear can help women stay more comfortable during
the night to ensure a good night's sleep.
