having a hard time sleeping through the night and waking up with hot flashes

I’m 51, missed my period a month in a half ago. Came on my monthly cycle for 1 day, and after that it all started. I wake up out of my sleep feeling really hot like im going to start sweating. then it goes away and BOOM an hour in a half later it’s back again. And I can not stay sleep for a full 3 hours without waking up and hard to fall back to sleep. I have taken Melatonin supplements they don’t work. I have heard of women going through this, but I have not actually talked to no one going through it

I haven’t slept for three years normally LOL good luck

you are not alone. my started sleeping then the sweating and then hot and cold
now its all about very heavy boobs and arm pain
52 and no period for the past 3 months then in feb, i spotted one day which eases the pain in my boobs
its a struggle every day and when i have a really nice day without and issues i try to get things done
