I can vouch for the 15 years! I started perimenepause in my late 30's. Stupid Doctors said I was too young and would not give me anything for it. I fooled them as I had my last period at 48. I was lucky in the fact that I never had night sweats and not alot of daily *flashes*. My biggest problem was I turned into a raving lunitic :roll: Now at 56, I still have one daily hot flash. It hits at about 8:30 every night. Go figure. But as someone else said, it really is the best time of life :thumbup:
edited to add: my sleeping habits change constantly.
