Thanks, Eliza! Since I read those articles, I have stopped using the devices, during the night, & am sleeping better. With just the hot flashes, it annoyed me to wake up, but didn't seem to affect me, much, during the day. I've declined hormone therapy or sleeping pills. Since I reached menopause 6 years ago & doctors say, for some people, hot flashes can continue into their 80s, I don't think a short-term treatment will be of much use. I, mostly, wanted to share this information, since it was new to me!

best,

Barbara
