The Truth About Hormones for Sleep, Sleep Disturbances, Melatonin & Perimenopause Sleep Problems | Dr. Jolene Brighten

Struggling to fall asleep… stay asleep… or waking up at 2 AM with your heart racing and your sheets soaked? These sleep disturbances are not in your head and they’re not something you just have to live with. In this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, we dive deep into what’s really going on when women can’t sleep during perimenopause. You’ll learn why melatonin alone won’t fix it, how to naturally restore your hormones for sleep, and exactly what’s driving your body’s middle-of-the-night chaos. If you’re tired of being tired and ready for real answers, this one’s for you.
