I have to be cool in bed otherwise I can't sleep (or breathe properly - probably the copd as well).
You need to make sure you have plenty of air circulating in your bedroom at night so keeping a window open is a good idea or a fan. I use mine mostly in the summer and it doesn't disturb my sleep and hasn't done after the first couple of uses.
I don't know whether you stll get hot flushes - I do a bit still and some women have them forever and obviously this doesn't help either. I hope this helps. Bev x

I think there's a common misconception that menopause is an event - ie, the cessation of menstruation, when actually it's quite a long process leading up to and after that.

And some women go thru it for years...like my mother did and suffer quite a bit. And some have nearly no side affects, like me, just some occasional night sweats, but thank God for that!!!

I would mention it to your GP though as night sweats can also be a warning sign of other ilnesses sometimes.
I don't think male doctors in particular can understand how horrible it is to wake up drenched in sweat. This morning my bedding was drenched through to the mattress in places. Horrible!
