Sleeptember is nearly over. Menopause and sleep aren’t.
Throughout September I’ve been supporting The Sleep Charity’s Sleeptember campaign, which this year has focused on menopause and sleep.
And although the campaign comes to an end tomorrow, the conversations it highlights don’t.
Changes to sleep can be one of the most frustrating parts of midlife. And for some women, it’s not simply what happens during the night.
🧠 It’s the brain fog.
💣 The shorter fuse.
😫 The effort it takes to keep functioning.
🤯 The feeling that everything is just that little bit harder when you’re tired.
So while I’ll be taking down my Sleeptember website page tomorrow, sleep in midlife will very much remain part of the conversation here.
Because better sleep isn’t only about the night.
It’s about what it gives you back during the day.
You can still access The Sleep Charity resources on the Sleeptember page on my website. Link in my bio.

Brain fog and a shorter fuse is such a real combo. We see it all the time with our patients in midlife, and CBT-I still helps even when hormones are part of the story.
