Lying awake at 3 AM wondering WTF is happening to your body? You're not alone. In this episode, we're going beyond sleep hygiene basics to tackle the real culprits sabotaging your sleep in perimenopause.


WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

→ Why sleep apnea is more common during perimenopause (and the 5 signs to watch for)

→ The tired-and-wired insomnia trap - and the 3-step approach that finally broke my cycle

→ Why good sleep actually starts in the morning (circadian clock hacks)

→ Your before-bed supplement toolkit: melatonin, glycine, ashwagandha, and magnesium glycinate with specific dosing

→ The 2024 research on Progressive Muscle Relaxation for perimenopausal women (hot flashes AND sleep improved)
