Harvard researchers have utilized Apple Watch sleep data to investigate changes in sleep patterns during perimenopause. The study analyzed over 94,000 nights of sleep data from participants aged 25 to 59, revealing that many women experienced increased wakefulness around menopause. The findings highlight the variability in individual experiences during this transition and suggest strategies for improving sleep quality.

- ▪Many participants spent more time awake during the night in the year surrounding their final menstrual period.
- ▪60% of women showed increased wake after sleep onset in the 18 months leading up to menopause.
