15. Is Sleep Hygiene Really Useless? Why It Still Matters for Sleep in Menopause

You might have heard that sleep hygiene doesn’t matter… I don’t fully agree with it. If you’ve been told that sleep hygiene doesn’t really matter, this episode will give you a different perspective.  In this episode, I explore why sleep is not something that suddenly starts at night, but something that is built gradually across the day and why your evening still plays an important role in supporting the quality of your sleep.  During perimenopause and menopause, sleep often becomes lighter and more sensitive, which means that small things can have a bigger impact than they used to. This is where simple, realistic sleep hygiene can support your body, without creating pressure or strict routines.  I also explain why you can feel tired but not fully sleepy, why your mind becomes more active at night, and why that transition from day into evening is often missing.  This episode will help you understand:  why sleep hygiene is often misunderstood   why it still matters, especially during menopause   how your evening can quietly affect your sleep   the difference between feeling tired and being ready for sleep   simple ways to support your evening without overcomplicating it   If this resonates with you, you can download my free Menopause & Sleep Symptom Tracker to start noticing patterns between your day, your evening, your sleep, and your menopause symptoms.  You can also use my 7 Day Evening Prompt and Ritual Journal if you need a gentle place to begin your wind-down.  You can book a free 30-minute call with me to explore what’s currently happening with your sleep.
