ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how education about sleep hygiene can help improve comfort and sleep quality in women going through menopause. Menopause can cause various symptoms, including sleep problems, due to changes in hormone levels. The researchers want to see if teaching women good sleep practices can help them sleep better and feel more comfortable overall.

To participate in this study, women must be in the premenopausal period, have some sleep issues, and be willing to attend three educational sessions over several weeks. Each session will last about an hour and focus on ways to improve sleep quality. Eligible participants should also be generally healthy and not currently taking medications that affect sleep. This study will take place at a hospital in Istanbul, and data will be collected to see how effective the education is in helping women manage their sleep and comfort during menopause.
