If there’s one thing that every woman I know complains about, it's sleep deprivation. There’s a reason they use it for torture, oops I mean enhanced interrigation. Sleep disturbance every once in a while, a night or 2 here and there, is not a problem. More than 3 nights a week might be. Now I thought it was just me but apparently waking between 2 and 4 AM every night like clock work is pretty common for women in perimenopause and menopause. So today we’re going to take a look at why that happens and what you do about it.
Sleep is affected by almost everything you do from the moment you wake up in the morning. Today we’re going to focus on 3 specific pieces to the sleep puzzle and what you can do to naturally influence those things.
Specifically we want to look at 3 sleep levers. Stress, hormones and blood sugar.
