Ever wondered why you’re wide awake at 3am—and nothing seems to help? You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone. In this episode of Mind Your Midlife, I sit down with sleep coach Morgan Adams to talk about why so many women over 40 and women over 50 struggle with sleep—and what actually works to get it back.

Morgan shares her own journey from years of insomnia and dependence on medication to finally experiencing deep, restorative sleep. Now, she helps midlife women reclaim their nights through powerful mindset shifts, hormone-aware strategies, and science-backed tools that actually work.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✔ Why sleep problems are so common for midlife women—and it’s not just menopause
 ✔ What CBT-I is and why it’s more effective than melatonin or sleep meds
 ✔ How your mindset, thoughts, and language affect your sleep patterns
 ✔ Practical, healthy sleep habits that support hormone balance and self care

🎯 OMG Moment: You need to see and experience sun first thing in the morning.  This one habit could change everything.

Why This Episode Matters

In midlife, healthy sleep isn’t just a luxury—it’s foundational self care. If you’re exhausted, your mindset, mood, and relationships suffer. Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a reset. Getting better sleep helps you step fully into your power as a woman over 40 or 50 with energy, clarity, and confidence to take on what’s next.
