Night waking is one of the most common and most overlooked symptoms of perimenopause, and in this episode I am getting into exactly why it happens, from fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone driving adrenaline surges and racing thoughts, to the body's internal thermostat causing you to overheat at night.
I share my own experience of waking up on red alert, how broken sleep affects your mood, appetite, cravings, energy and brain fog, and why so many women mistake these symptoms for anxiety.
Plus I cover the practical steps you can take right now to manage it. From timing your wine and caffeine, to optimising your evening meals, cooling your sleep environment and why magnesium bisglycinate might be the game changer you have been missing.
If this resonated, please do subscribe so you never miss an episode and share it with a woman in your life who needs to hear this.
