About
Lots of women in perimenopause and menopause wake up around 3am and can't fall back asleep.
Most are told "it's just menopause" and handed sleeping pills - or nothing. There is a better answer. It is already in the research. It just hasn't reached enough women yet.
The short version
- The problem: waking at 3am in menopause, with no real help offered.
- The fix: CBT-I - a proven, drug-free way to retrain sleep.
- How you get it: a simple audio program you do at home, at your own pace.
What it is built on
The method uses CBT-I - a proven, drug-free way to retrain your sleep. It is what the American Academy of Sleep Medicine tells doctors to try first for long-term insomnia, before pills.
In a 2016 study in JAMA Internal Medicine, 106 women going through menopause tried it. The ones who used CBT-I slept far better than the ones who didn't. View study →
We then shaped it around the menopause body - the night sweats, the 3am wake-up, the hormone changes - so it fits what is actually happening to you.
Why a program, not a doctor visit
CBT-I works, but it is hard to get. Many women are never offered it. If they are, they often wait months or pay a lot.
This is a simple audio program you do at home, at your own pace - no referral, and lifetime access.
Our mission: real, science-backed sleep help for women in menopause - without pills and without gatekeeping. It isn't easy. But it works, and you are not doing it alone.
