Why Midlife Sleep Falls Apart
Falling asleep fine. Waking at 3 AM hot, wired, and furious. Familiar?
The quick explanation
Estrogen and progesterone both support sleep architecture. As they shift, deep and REM sleep shrink, and night wakings rise. Add cortisol misfires and night sweats — and there it is.
Why this matters
Bad sleep worsens every other symptom. Fix sleep first; everything else gets easier.
