Sleep Through the Change

Fern Ashwood

Somewhere in midlife the night stops cooperating: you fall asleep fine and then wake at three with a racing mind or a sudden heat that will not quit. This is the calm walk through what is actually happening to hormones and body temperature during those years, why standard sleep advice often falls short here, and the specific adjustments, timing, cooling, and wind-down changes that help you settle back down and stay asleep. Steady, respectful, and genuinely useful.
