Sleep Better Through Midlife

If you’re a woman in midlife and suddenly find yourself waking during the night, struggling to fall asleep, or feeling exhausted even after a full night in bed, you’re certainly not alone.

Sleep can change significantly during the midlife years. Hormonal changes, stress, changing responsibilities and the physical and emotional transitions that come with this stage of life can all affect the quality of your rest. Yet because poor sleep becomes so common, many women simply accept feeling tired as another unavoidable part of getting older.

But does it have to be?

In this video, Johann Callaghan, Sleep Expert and International Bestselling Author, shares some eye-opening statistics about sleep and the midlife transition and explains why getting good-quality sleep deserves far more attention.

Why Better Sleep Matters in Midlife

Sleep isn’t simply the time when we switch off at the end of the day. It plays an important role in our energy, mood, concentration, resilience and overall health and wellbeing.

During midlife, when our bodies and lives may already be going through considerable change, consistently poor sleep can make everyday challenges feel even harder. You may notice that you’re more tired during the day, less able to concentrate, more irritable or simply not feeling quite like yourself.

The encouraging news is that better sleep doesn’t always require completely changing your life.

Understanding what’s affecting your sleep is an important first step towards improving it.
