I used to go to sleep the moment my head hit the pillow (no drugs needed). But, I had a difficult time motivating myself to do anything during the day. Now, I need help to sleep and I’m super motivated. 🤷♂️
~Honestly, I’ll gladly suffer the insomnia for the motivation.~
I’ve been perimenopausal for several years now and the worst symptom I’ve experienced is the sleep disruption. Last week I basically stopped sleeping, so I’m on hormones now. There’s a slight relief, but at least I’m getting 6 very interrupted hours which is better than last week!
There is something similar as testosterone levels decline after 40, except I understand it’s typically a much less noticable process since it’s a gradual decline vs estrogen levels just tanking. I don’t know if that ultimately effects sleep, but other changes like activity, stress, diet and other habits will.

Is there something similar for men? I feel like things have been up and down for the psst ten years (I’m turning 50 next summer).
