For sleepwear, there are some great nighties made especially for menopausal nightsweats. There are quite a few overseas, but an Australian company just launched a beautiful range. www.eaden.com.au

I have recently purchased sleepwear from Eaden and can't believe how much it works. They are really lovely too.

I am trying Black Cohash for hot flashes since I am having at least 20 + day. At night, I am awakened several times. It is sooo annoying and I wake up in the AM exhausted. I sleep in the raw, with a down comforter and sheet; still I wake up feeling so enclosed...my husband doesn't even begin to understand. I feel like an alien...just want to run away. I don't want to get on hormones...am an RN and know the possible consequences of these drugs. I don't take anything but herbs.
