Sleep struggles in perimenopause are NOT “just in your head.”
Hormonal changes, hot flashes, and shifts in your body’s stress response make it harder for many women to get restful sleep.
Simple adjustments can make a difference, from cooling your bedroom down, to supporting your hormones naturally with food and routine.
Most importantly, remembering it’s a transition (not a flaw) takes away some of the frustration.
Try these small shifts:
• Keep it Cool → light layers, cool room, bedside fan
• Wind Down Ritual → dim lights, calming tea, stretch or journal, limit devices/screen time
• Support Hormones → balanced evening meals, less alcohol/caffeine, magnesium-rich foods
• Be Gentle with Yourself → sleep changes are common, your body is adjusting
What’s one thing that helps you get a better night’s sleep?
