Most women think sleep is just about being 'tired enough.' So they cut caffeine, try meditation, buy blackout curtains—but still wake up at 3 AM, staring at the clock. It's not a "bad habit" thing. It's a hormone thing. Here's what's actually happening: 🧠 Estrogen controls REM sleep. Low levels = restless, light sleep. 🔥 Cortisol (your stress hormone) should drop at night. If it spikes instead? You wake up wired and sweating. 💡 Progesterone is your body's natural sedative. When it dips (which happens in perimenopause), you struggle to fall—and stay—asleep. That's why melatonin doesn't help much for perimenopausal sleep issues. It's not the real problem. The fix? You have to reset your hormones. Inside Hormone Harmony Jumpstart, I show you exactly how to do that—without meds, without trial and error, and without another sleepless night.
