PERImenapause starts a good 10 (or more) years before the onset of menapause.

oh hush

but what does* that *mean?

I haven’t had any symptoms as far as I can tell and I am almost 50
I wake up the same time everyday though( 6am)- no matter what time I go to bed- which really can be a PITA
especially when my H can sleep through about anything & does.

I do have to have it quiet though- and I have to read ( or watch something on the laptop), before bed.

Early waking can be a sign of depression- it is something to at least check out.
BUt I would also recommend Benadryl. I take it occasionally for allergies and our vet recommended it to our dog as well ( for allergies), but it also knocks me out, it might be worth trying so as not to get into a pattern of early waking.
