If your sleep has started to feel lighter, more broken, or harder to come by, peri-menopause or menopause may be playing a role.
As estrogen and progesterone shift, your body’s ability to regulate sleep, temperature, mood, and calm can change too. That’s why night sweats, early-morning wakeups, racing thoughts, and that “tired but wired” feeling become more common, even if your routine hasn’t changed.
Hormonal changes can also affect melatonin (your sleep hormone) and increase nighttime anxiety, making it harder to fall and stay asleep.
The good news? You’re not imagining this and you’re not stuck with it.
6 gentle ways to support better sleep:
• Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and well-ventilated
• Create a calming wind-down routine before bed
• Limit caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods in the evening
• Get regular movement during the day (earlier is best)
• Reduce screen time before sleep
• Seek personalized, hormone-informed care if sleep issues persist
Better rest is possible and you deserve it. 😴
