Listen Later

📝 Episode Summary: 3 AM wake-ups are an annoying and exhausting part ot your night.. OR you’re sleeping 7–8 hours but still dragging through your day. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I unpack the real reasons behind 3 AM wake-ups, and why you feel fatigued, even when your sleep seems “good on paper.” From cortisol misfires to nighttime light exposure, I break down how your circadian rhythm and hormone patterns affect your energy, mood, and metabolism.

This is essential listening for any woman who’s doing all the “right” things… but still feels off.
