Many women are told their sleep problems are “just stress”, when in reality, perimenopause hormonal changes are often the cause.

This video explains:
• Why sleep changes in perimenopause
• What’s happening hormonally
• Why traditional sleep advice often doesn’t work

If you are waking in the night, feeling exhausted despite rest, or struggling with brain fog and low mood, you’re not alone and you’re not imagining it.
