Sleep changed for me during perimenopause. I used to fall asleep the minute my head hit the pillow. Then I started struggling to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night, even when I was exhausted. If you're experiencing this after 40, I want to share what helped me.
In this solo episode of Live Like a Girl, I'm walking you through five steps to create a nighttime routine that supports better sleep. We're talking about estrogen, cortisol, blood sugar, and why your evening habits matter more than you might realize.
I'll show you how I think about evening lighting, dinner, magnesium-rich foods, caffeine, scrolling, and calming your nervous system before bed. At the end, I'll give you three simple things to try tonight and a two-week plan to help you see what works for your body.
