Why You Keep Waking Up at 3AM: 7 Habits to Help You Sleep Better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You go to bed exhausted. You fall asleep just fine. Then 3AM rolls around and suddenly your eyes are open, your brain is wide awake, and you’re calculating how much sleep you can still get before the alarm goes off. Again. If this has become your nightly routine—especially during perimenopause or menopause—I want you to know that your body is not broken. But your sleep may need more support.

Eventually, it’s easy to come to one painful conclusion: Something must be wrong with my body. In this episode, Ashley challenges that belief and offers a completely different way to understand what’s happening during perimenopause.
