I have been getting really warm at night, to the point that I have to kick the blankets off, and my sleep is being broken. Is this the menopause?

Night sweats/heat are a common menopause symptom but can be caused by other factors such as stress, low iron or low thyroid so it is best to get this checked out by your doctor first.

They can also test your hormone levels so that will give you a better idea of what is happening.

In the meantime you may find a sage supplement helpful as this is traditionally used for flushes/sweats in the menopause.
