Is tai chi good for sleep disruption during perimenopause?

Tai chi can be helpful for managing sleep disruption during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in sleep disruption.

The key with tai chi for sleep disruption is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when sleep disruption is more severe, a gentler approach to tai chi may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Tai chi specifically may help with sleep disruption through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular tai chi, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for sleep disruption than occasional intense sessions.
