Sleep problems combined with hot flashes (hot splashes) at night are classic symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, where falling estrogen levels cause the body's temperature regulation to go haywire — leading to sudden heat surges that disrupt sleep. Thyroid dysfunction can also cause similar symptoms and is worth ruling out. A general physician or gynecologist is the right starting point to evaluate the cause and guide treatment, which may include hormonal or non-hormonal options.
Next Steps
Start with a consultation with your gynecologist along with blood tests — FSH, LH, estradiol levels to check menopausal status, and a TSH to rule out thyroid. Keeping the bedroom cool, wearing light cotton clothing, and avoiding caffeine at night can help in the meantime. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

This may be because you are in peri- menopause age. Have a healthy and balanced diet. Start supplements for your bone health after consulting your gynaecologist. If symptoms persist then get yourself tested.
