Relying on sleep aids to manage the sleep disturbances that have popped up in midlife? You’re not alone—according to a new report, 27% of women in menopause use sleeping pills to help them get more Zzzs.
While these medications may be helpful for some, they come with potential side effects—from dizziness and daytime drowsiness to memory issues—and can cause dependency (your insomnia may worsen if you stop using them).
At Midi, we recommend sleeping pills only as a last resort. Fortunately, there are many effective, safer alternatives, like small lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In fact, 93% of Midi patients report improvement with insomnia within 5 months of treatment.

“The right treatment gave me my life back”
- Kaitlyn F., 30 |
|
I entered menopause after having my ovaries removed at 30. The insomnia, hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and weight gain were overwhelming. I was prescribed HRT, but my symptoms continued full force. My doctor told me that HRT wasn’t her specialty, so she couldn’t help beyond that. I felt lost and alone.
Then I learned about Midi. I finally met a clinician knowledgeable in menopause, who came up with a different plan specially tailored to me.
Before, menopause felt like it was my whole life. It had started to overshadow everything. Now, with proper care, I’m getting my life back.

Ask a Midi Clinician |

The expert: Sonya Carothers, PhD, Midi clinician
Q: “My doctor has pushed back on prescribing HRT in the past—what can I do?"
A: To prepare for the convo with your doctor, I recommend logging your symptoms and how they’re affecting your day-to-day life. You can include things like, "My brain fog is affecting my ability to perform at my job" or "Vaginal dryness has prevented me from being intimate with my partner."
Then, be direct and ask for what you want. Don’t be afraid to say, “I’m finding my brain fog very difficult and would like to try hormone replacement therapy. Can you help me navigate this?”
If you’re being met with resistance, make sure to ask why and push your doctor to help you to find a solution while you’re in the appointment together. If your doctor isn’t willing to prescribe right away, set a time to follow up two weeks later, even if they suggest a six-month follow-up. There’s no need to struggle with your symptoms because your doctor isn’t prepared.
Get more tips for the conversation with your doctor here. And remember: You can always seek out support on your own, like booking a visit with a Midi clinician, who can help you feel heard—and feel better.
