One aspect of menopause I found daunting was my inability to stay asleep after about 3 AM. Hormone replacement therapy helped, but the insornnia returned full force when I stopped taking it. I tried drinking a glass of milk before bed, but it didn't agree with me. Then I found a simple, inexpensive cure: 
I take one or two calcium tablets before retiring for the night. Not only do I now sleep well, I feel calmer, and I believe my bones benefit too!
