[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this how it’s going to be for the rest of my life? I do not drink much at all, maybe 2-3 glasses of wine a month with a nice dinner. But I have always really enjoyed that nice glass of good wine.

I’m early 50s, and have noticed that over the past year as I am in perimenopause, I can’t even have that single glass of wine if I want to sleep. I wake up tired, I get night sweats, I have to go to the bathroom and my sleep is interrupted. This is after literally a single glass of wine, I never have more than one.

What the heck is this horror show? I’m barely drinking! I just want the occasional glass of wine with a nice dinner but I am more hungover from a single stupid glass than far worse evenings when I was 22.

Does it get better? Am I doomed to never enjoy a nice wine pairing again without paying the price for 24 hours? Please give me hope. [/quote]

This is your new reality. And it’s not a peri thing — I’m a man and it affects me the same way.

I choose sleep. [/quote]
