@Bunniekins I have slept on and off since Thursday when my partner abused me. He is very close to becoming my ex partner if he does not reduce his drinking and fix his behaviour because of it. So I have had plenty of sleep.
I struggle with my PTSD at night time, so I just watch shows to keep my mind busy. I am currently watching Paranormal Caught on Camera.
Do you have issues that stop you from sleeping as well?

@Mustang67 i am sorry to hear your partner abused you there is no excuse for that ever. stay strong beautiful. if you ever want to talk i am here to just listen if that helps.
well i was talking to my pharmiscist and she said that once you are in menopause if you get 5 hours sleep that is a good amount. i get about that if not more a night but nap during the day i think because of the meds i am on. weather plays alot in sleeping patterns for me. what about this cooler weather i am so happy 😄

@Bunniekins don't worry I have told him in no uncertain terms that something needs to change, as I will not put up with another night like I had. He knows that next time he is gone. I told him I don't want an apology, I want action to change his drinking and behaviour.
I am on the other side of menopause, and I didn't have any symptoms. I did get hot flushes, but I think that was more from my antidepressants I was on at the time. As I went to the doctors to get tested for menopause and was told that I have already been through it. I had a hysterectomy a while ago, so that bought my menopause forward for my age. But I am glad that I didn't have to deal with what some people go through.
When I take my antidepressants in the morning, they make me drowsy and I usually have a sleep not long after breakfast. And my mum is the same. So we are sort of in sync with each other.
And yes, I am loving this cooler weather. I was so sick of the constant heat.
