How to Combat Night Sweats & Hot Flashes: Part 2

Though some women fly through menopause with ease, most deal with some sort of uncomfortable symptoms. Perhaps two of the most common side effects of menopause are night sweats and hot flashes. They both make women warm, sweaty and uncomfortable-three things which also happen to make it incredibly difficult to get a good night's sleep. And as anyone who's gone on little sleep knows, being tired every morning when you wake up can really start to impact all areas of your life in a negative way.

So how can you take control of your sleep cycle once again? Try these tips for lessening the severity of hot flashes and night sweats during menopause:
