Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? 😴 Here’s the deal...
Perimenopause is not just about hot flashes and night sweats, it can also affect the quality of your sleep in other ways. 💤
From 35+, your fluctuating hormones, especially low progesterone levels, can significantly disrupt sleep quality. Progesterone, often called the "calming hormone," has a natural sedative effect that helps you feel relaxed and promotes restful sleep.
As progesterone declines, this calming effect diminishes, making it harder to fall and stay asleep. This disrupted sleep cycle can lead to daytime fatigue, increased irritability, sugar cravings, overeating and weight gain, creating a frustrating cycle of poor sleep and hormonal imbalance.
But here’s the good news. You don’t have to suffer through sleepless nights. 👏🏼
