136. Tired but Wired: Why You’re So Drained, Yet You Can’t Sleep

If you feel exhausted all day, counting down the hours until bedtime, and then suddenly your brain flips on the second your head hits the pillow… this episode is for you.We’re talking about the “tired but wired” pattern that so many women experience in peri and post menopause, where you feel drained, foggy, and running on fumes during the day, but at night you can’t fall asleep, you wake up at 2 to 3am, or your sleep stays light and restless.In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in simple language, the most common drivers I see (stress load, blood sugar swings, caffeine sensitivity, nighttime stimulation, and hormone shifts), and a practical, no-overwhelm plan you can start tonight. You’ll walk away with a clear framework to calm your nervous system, set your day up for better sleep, and stop feeling like your body is fighting you.
