Midlife women often report waking multiple times a night, lying in bed for hours, or feeling unrested despite adequate sleep. Data shows that 60–70% of women aged 45–55 experience sleep disruptions during perimenopause, due to estrogen and progesterone fluctuations. These hormones influence core body temperature, cortisol levels, and melatonin production. Even minor sleep loss accumulates, affecting cognition, mood, and immune function. Women often blame themselves, thinking they “can’t relax,” but the reality is biological. Effective strategies: keeping a consistent sleep schedule, reducing caffeine and alcohol, practicing evening relaxation routines, using light-blocking curtains, and considering hormone or melatonin support under medical guidance. Your sleepless nights are not a character flaw — they’re a signal. Listening to them can help you reclaim rest. #Health#WomensHealth #SleepHealth
