Summary

Want to fix your sleep because you’re sick of lying awake at 3 AM even though you've tried what seems like everything?

You're doing everything "right" - eating clean, exercising, avoiding screens before bed, drinking herbal tea. You've invested in blackout curtains and the perfect mattress. Yet you're still staring at the ceiling, wondering why your body refuses to cooperate with your desperate need for sleep.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the real reasons midlife women struggle with sleep - and they're not what you think. From the shocking impact of modern lighting on your hormones to the surprising connection between mouth breathing and sleep quality, we're uncovering the science-backed solutions that actually work for women over 40.

You'll discover why your blood sugar might be waking you up at 3 AM, how your cell phone is sabotaging your sleep cycles, and the one supplement that's clinically proven to increase deep sleep duration. We're also talking about the hormone changes that disrupt sleep and what you can actually do about them.

If you're tired of being tired, this episode will give you the tools to transform your sleep starting tonight.
