To summarize the best evidence for non-pharmacological interventions for patients with perimenopausal sleep disorders and to provide an evidence-based basis for improving sleep disorders and quality of life in perimenopausal women.

All the evidence of sleep disorder in perimenopausal period in databases were searched by the computer in UpToDate, BMJ Best Clinical Practice, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Database, National Guideline Cleaninghouse, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Wanfang Database, CNKI, et al. The evidences includes guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summary, systematic evaluation, best practice information book, randomized controlled trial, etc. The search deadline was from database establishment to October 15, 2022. Finally, methodological quality evaluation was conducted on relevant literature to extract and integrate the best evidence.

A total of 22 literatures were included, including 6 guidelines, 1 position statement, 4 systematic reviews and 11 randomized controlled trials. A total of 21 pieces of evidence were collected from 5 aspects, including sleep assessment, psychological intervention, physical intervention, traditional Chinese medicine intervention and exercise intervention.

Regular evaluation should be conducted on the sleep status of perimenopausal women, and appropriate and feasible individualized intervention measures should be provided based on the actual situation to improve their sleep quality. When applying evidence, it should be combined with the clinical environment to transform it into localized evidence to guide best practice.
