If you’re a woman around my age, chances are you’ve experienced your fair share of sleepless nights. For many reasons, sleep problems are frustratingly common. But why is this such a widespread issue? Let’s take a closer look.


Why Sleep Issues Are So Common

There are many reasons why sleep becomes elusive as we age. Stress, hormonal shifts due to menopause, and nutrient deficiencies top the list. But, thankfully, there’s something we can do about it.




My Sleep Solution: A Simple Formula

After trying numerous methods, I stumbled upon a combination that really works for me. It wasn’t a miracle cure—it was more like finding small pieces of a puzzle. Each piece—whether from research, a helpful conversation, or a doctor's recommendation—slowly came together.


Here’s what I do about 30-60 minutes before bed:

  • Seriphos (phosphorylated serine): This helps manage my cortisol levels, especially after a stressful day.

  • High-dose magnesium: It helps calm my muscles and mind, preparing me for rest.

  • CBD balm for my feet: This one might sound odd, but it really helps me unwind before bed.


While I’m not a doctor, I do think these things are worth looking into. Before trying anything new, consult with your healthcare provider to see if it’s a good fit for you. The best part? None of these are habit-forming or pharmaceutical, and they actually work.


The Importance of Sleep

It’s no secret that good sleep is essential for our health. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, age gracefully, or just feel better, sleep plays a huge role. And when we don’t get enough of it? Well, the effects are cumulative: low energy, poor mood, sluggish brain function, and even physical changes.


The Key: Consistency

I’m not saying I never wake up in the middle of the night, but it’s much rarer now. When I do wake up, I can usually fall back asleep. The trick? Consistency. And of course, avoiding screens before bed. That blue light is a real culprit when it comes to disturbing sleep patterns!


So, charge your phone in another room, do your routine, and read in dim light until you feel your body start to drop the book and bob your head.


Sweet dreams!
