Why they travel together
Memory consolidation happens during sleep. Attention and word-finding are both among the first things to go when sleep is short or broken.
Sleep problems were reported by 76 percent of women in the Flo survey reported by The Menopause Society, so for a great many women the fog is sitting on top of months of poor sleep.
What that means practically
If both are happening, the sleep is usually the more productive place to start, because improving it tends to move the thinking too.
Judging your own head on the morning after a bad night is not a fair test. Most women describe the fog lifting noticeably after a good stretch.
The sleep section holds the practical side of this, including a wind-down that survives a bad week.
What most women want to know is whether this is permanent. The research on that is more reassuring than the experience of it.
