How to Finally Get to Sleep in Menopause


Listen Later

Sleep is one of the most common complaints in perimenopause and menopause. It’s also one of the most important. When you’re not sleeping, everything else suffers: your mood, your energy, your memory, your health.

In this episode, Tamsen sits down with leading clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris, author of ‘The Women’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia: Get a Good Night’s Sleep Without Relying on Medication,’ to break down what’s really going on with women’s sleep in midlife and what to do about it.


In this episode, they uncover:

-The hormonal and neurological shifts that quietly disrupt sleep

-How to tell the difference between insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome

-Why melatonin and magnesium aren’t always the answer

-What CBT-I is and why it’s the most effective treatment for insomnia

-What it actually takes to retrain your body to rest


If you’re lying awake at night and exhausted during the day, this conversation will give you real answers and a plan to finally get the sleep you need.
