Sleep Like a Queen: The Menopause Edition

💤 Why Sleep is the Most Important Nutrient After Oxygen

In this episode of Menopause Conversations, Angela dives deep into why sleep is critical for women’s health—especially during the menopause transition.

You’ll discover:

  • Why poor sleep raises risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even dementia.
  • The difference between deep sleep (detoxifying the brain and body) and REM sleep (memory, learning, and emotional regulation).
  • How changing hormones affect sleep cycles and brain “remodeling” during menopause.
  • Practical strategies to improve sleep, from morning sunlight and regular routines to winding down with calming rituals.
  • Why your sleep tracker isn’t always telling you the full story.

👉 Angela also shares a free downloadable Sleep Guide to help you make sleep a true priority for your health and wellbeing. Download the Sleep Guide here.

If you’ve ever struggled with restless nights or wondered how to wake up feeling truly refreshed, this episode is for you.
