Do you keep popping awake at 2–3am — suddenly alert, restless or anxious — and wondering what on earth is going on with your body?


You’re not failing and you don’t have “insomnia.”For so many women 40+, this is actually a cortisol & blood sugar imbalance, not a sleep disorder. Your nervous system is signalling, not sabotaging you.

In this training, I walk you through:


🐨 Why this exact time window is so disrupted after 40

🐨 How changing hormones influence stress, sleep and calming signals

🐨 What triggers the early-morning wake-up (and why it’s not your fault)

🐨 Simple calming shifts that help your body settle and sleep more deeply


Your body is not working against you — it’s trying to protect you.


Once you support the rhythm beneath it, sleeping through the night becomes much easier.
