MENOPAUSE DISRUPTS SLEEP
Your Sleep System Changes After 40
During perimenopause and menopause, several key hormonal systems shift:
• Progesterone declines - reducing calmness
• Cortisol rhythms can become more irregular
• Nighttime temperature regulation changes
• Nervous system becomes stress-sensitive
These changes often lead to:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Night awakenings
- Feeling tired but wired
- Light, unrefreshing sleep
Your body isn’t “failing.” It simply needs a different support during this phase of life.
