Sleep After 40: Why It Changes and What Actually Works
Sleep doesn't just get harder after 40—it actually changes due to shifts in your circadian rhythm, melatonin production, and sleep architecture. Emma and David break down the biology behind why you're waking at 3am (and why fighting it makes it worse), then walk through the evidence-backed strategies that actually work: CBT-I principles, temperature control, morning light exposure, and the right approach to supplements. You'll leave understanding that sleep trouble after 40 isn't a personal failure—it's a physiology problem with real, science-supported solutions.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
