In this episode, we continue the conversation with sleep psychologist Rosemary Clancy as we explore why sleep becomes so elusive during perimenopause and menopause.
From hot flushes to sleep apnea (yes, even if you don’t snore!), we dive into the science behind disrupted sleep and the practical steps you can take to find relief.
I also share some of my own personal journey through perimenopause and the surprising symptoms that impacted my nights.
You’ll learn:
Why hot flushes interrupt deep sleep and what you can do about it
The overlooked signs of obstructive sleep apnea in midlife women
How stress, hormones, and lifestyle all influence your rest
What a sleep study involves and how to advocate for one
The role of self-compassion and mindfulness in improving sleep quality
