Sleep Is Where the Muscle Happens

True confession for my closest internet friends (that’s you):

at 48 my body quit sleeping and started wringing me out in sweaty sheets at 3am, no warning, no say in the matter.

If that tale of woe reeks of familiarity, this one’s for you.

In this episode we get into:

• why your sleep went sideways in perimenopause

• the plot twist that you actually build muscle and burn excess body fat while you sleep instead of in the gym

• the short list of stuff that truly changes your sleep game. Starting with the one I always come back to

• Plus why that nightly glass of wine is a lying little traitor frenemy.
