from The Nourish to Thrive Podcast · host Tanya Pennington-Miller, MS
If your sleep feels lighter…easier to disrupt…or just not as restorative as it used to, you’re not imagining it. In this episode, we continue the series “What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You” and take a step back to look at why sleep changes in midlife.Because this isn’t about one single issue.It’s about how the entire system is shifting.We walk through four key reasons sleep starts to feel different:• Progesterone decline and less deep, restorative sleep• Cortisol rhythm becoming more sensitive to your day• A nervous system carrying more load into the night• Sleep becoming more responsive to your environmentAs these changes happen, sleep becomes less automatic…and more reflective of how your body is supported throughout the day.If sleep has felt different in this season, this episode will help you understand what your body may be responding to… and how to begin supporting it more intentionally.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE🔗 Luminette 3 Light Therapy Glasses: [Click here]Use code TANYAPENNINGTON-MILLER15 for 15% off🫶🏼 Let’s Stay Connected📸 @tanya.pennington.miller on Instagram💻 nourishtothrive.comAnd don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.ROOTED IN FAITH.
