Hormonal Disruptors

If you’re lying awake at 3 AM wondering why sleep suddenly became so elusive, hormones are likely the culprit. The hormonal shifts that begin in your 40s—especially declining estrogen and progesterone in women—can wreak havoc on your sleep patterns in ways you never expected. From night sweats that jolt you awake to racing thoughts that keep you staring at the ceiling, hormonal disruptions affect nearly every aspect of sleep quality. The frustrating part? Many women suffer through years of poor sleep, thinking it’s just part of aging. It’s not. Understanding how hormones specifically impact your sleep is the key to reclaiming your nights and waking up refreshed again.
