As if hormonal shifts in midlife weren’t challenging enough, sleep disorders like insomnia and restless leg syndrome, dramatically increase as well - especially in women.

And diminished sleep can dramatically impact the rest of your health… your metabolism, mood, cognitive function, and even more serious conditions.

In this episode, we talk all things sleep with Dr. Katie Cederberg, an exercise and sleep specialist at Stanford, currently researching how exercise can impact common sleep disorders.

Tune in as Dr. Cederberg shares her insights into sleep and it’s significant impact on women's health, particularly during midlife. We’ll explore the effects of sleep deprivation, the differences in sleep needs between men and women, and the prevalence of sleep disorders such as insomnia and restless leg syndrome.

Dr. Cederberg also gives us some insights from her research on the relationship between exercise and sleep, as well as practical tips for improving sleep hygiene.

If getting good quality sleep seems to just get harder, you don’t want to miss this episode!
