Let’s talk about sleep for a moment. 😴
So many women tell me:
“I’m exhausted, but as soon as I lie down, my brain turns on.”
“I wake up hot or with a racing heart at 2 or 3am.”
Perimenopause hormones + a stressed nervous system = major sleep disruption.
One gentle place to start (that doesn’t require a full life overhaul) is a 10–15 minute “wind‑down buffer”before bed:
Some ideas:
Lights a little dimmer
Phone away (or on Do Not Disturb)
A warm shower or bath
5–10 slow, deep breaths with one hand on your chest and one on your belly
Short journaling: “3 things I’m grateful for + 1 thing I’m putting down for tonight”
Is this going to fix everything? No.
But for many women, it signals to the body: “It’s safe to shift out of go‑mode.”
If you try a tiny bedtime buffer tonight, come back and tell us what you did—even if it’s just 5 minutes. We can celebrate the small steps together. 💗
