Struggling with sleep in midlife?

You’re doing everything “right.”
You’ve cut back on sugar, started walking more, maybe even swapped your evening scroll for a book. But the 3 a.m. wake-ups still come—and you’re left wondering, Why can’t I just sleep?

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know this:
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re not broken.
Your sleep has shifted because you have shifted.

And now, it’s time to gently shift with it.

In a recent episode of Women’s Health Unwrapped, I sat down with sleep consultant Imogen Russell to explore why sleep often feels harder in midlife—and what we can actually do about it.

This isn’t about miracle cures or fancy supplements. It’s about understanding your body, tuning in to what it needs now, and building small, meaningful habits that support the rest you deserve.

Do you wake up excited to start the day—or do you hit snooze, already feeling behind?

If energy is something you’ve been chasing (or feel like you’ve lost), you’re not alone. In midlife, many women find themselves tired, wired, and wondering where their spark has gone. But the truth is: energy isn’t just about sleep or caffeine. It’s about how you live, what you value, and whether you’re truly present in your own life.

In this blog, I’m pulling together some incredible insights from my recent podcast conversation with Charlotte Carter, a high performance coach and energy mentor who helps women feel good again.
