Summary
The goal of the clinical trial is to learn if Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-I) can treat insomnia in menopausal women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are HRT and CBT-I effective in reducing insomnia in menopausal women? * Are HRT and CBT-I comparable in terms of reducing insomnia severity in this population? Researchers will compare HRT and CBT-I to an active control group, receiving sleep hygiene instructions. Participants will: * Complete a screening and baseline assessment * Receive Hormone Replacement Therapy (as prescribed), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (1/week), or sleep hygiene instructions (1/week) for 8 weeks. * Keep a daily diary (sleep e-diary), to assess sleep-quality. * Wear an electroencephalogram (EEG) during 6 nights (3 at baseline \& 3 post-intervention), to assess deep sleep cycles and waking episodes. * Receive a phone call for intervention compliance * Complete a post-intervention assessment.
