Birth control pills are modern safe hormonal contraception and they are used by millions of women. Main components of birth control pills are synthetic hormones - progesterone and estrogen. Birth control pills reduce concentration of female hormones and work to inhibit the body's natural cyclical hormones to prevent possible pregnancy - the birth control pills prevent ovulation by maintaining more consistent hormone levels.
Generally speaking, birth control pills illiminate women cyclic hormonal production and change whole body hormonal balance which is triggering sleep disorders.
But not only hormonal changes can provoke sleep disorders. Sometimes other side effects of birth control pills such as headache, fatigue, mood swings and increased irritation can also trigger sleep disorders.
Sleep disorders can disappear if you stop using birth control pills (after 1-5 days).
How avoid sleep disorders if you are using birth control pills regularly?
It is very simple – eliminate the cause of sleep disorders and rid of it! Actually the simplest solution would be the switching to another type of contraception.
If you discover direct connection between birth control pills and your sleep disturbances, better discuss the problem with your health providers.
Change the brand of your birth control pills. Sometimes specific brand with low doses of estrogen and progesterone can be a solution for women who suffer from sleep disorders. Since the composition of every brand is slightly different there is always a chance that it may suit you better and you won’t have to stay up all night trying to sleep.
Prepare your bedroom for bedtime – make it quite, dark, comfortable and pleasant. Going to sleep is all about making your mind completely blank and just try not to think about anything, don’t even think about sleeping, just close your eyes and relax.
Change your bed habits – don’t eat before bedtime, don’t drink coffee in the evening, don’t do exercises few hours before sleeping time and try to be relaxed before going to sleep.
If you don’t have severe sleep disturbances and/or sleep disorders, try sleeping tea 20-30 minutes before your ordinary bedtime.
