Sleep's Impact on Midlife Health

If you’ve hit your 30's, 40s, or 50s and suddenly sleep feels impossible—waking at 3 a.m., hot flashes, lighter sleep, constant fatigue—you’re not alone. Sleep changes in midlife are real, physiologic, and they affect every major system in your body.

In this video, Dr. Meghan Tierney (board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine + Menopause Society Certified Practitioner) breaks down exactly why sleep becomes harder during perimenopause and menopause—and how disrupted sleep impacts your brain function, muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and metabolism.

You’ll learn:
• Why sleep becomes lighter and more fragmented in midlife
• How poor sleep fuels brain fog, forgetfulness, and mood changes
• The connection between sleep and muscle loss
• How sleep impacts blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and heart disease risk
• Why sleep drives midlife hunger, cravings, and metabolic changes
• What actually improves sleep quality (based on evidence—not trends)
• The often-missed signs of sleep apnea in women

Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s foundational metabolic and hormonal health care.
And the good news? Even 10–20 more minutes of high-quality sleep can make a measurable difference.

If this episode helps you understand your body better, know that you don’t have to troubleshoot this alone. At Sorrel Health & Wellness, we help women in midlife rebalance their hormones, improve sleep, and restore metabolic health through a compassionate, evidence-based approach.
