Sleep & Insomnia explores why restorative sleep can become difficult for women due to hormonal shifts that can disrupt circadian rhythms, lower melatonin, increase nighttime awakenings, and trigger symptoms like hot flashes and anxiety that interfere with falling or staying asleep.
Changes in stress physiology, blood sugar regulation, thyroid function, and muscle or joint discomfort can also play a role, making sleep a key indicator of overall health during midlife.
This tag brings together evidence-based insights on what affects sleep quality and how women can improve it through lifestyle, environment, hormone balance, and nervous system support. Topics include circadian rhythm alignment, nighttime blood sugar stability, stress and cortisol patterns, sleep hygiene, supplements with research behind them, and the connection between sleep, metabolism, and cognitive health.
Whether you’re navigating new sleep challenges or looking to rebuild deeper, more restorative rest, this section helps women understand the science of sleep and take practical steps toward better nights and brighter days.
