The Effects of Hormonal Changes on Sleep and Mood
If you’ve found yourself lying awake at night or noticing unexpected shifts in your mood as you move through peri/menopause, you’re not alone. Sleep struggles and emotional changes are some of the most common — and most frustrating — symptoms women face in midlife.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Susan Zink, a board-certified psychiatrist, to unpack what’s really going on during this season of change. Together, we explore:
Why sleep often gets disrupted during menopause
How hormonal shifts affect mood, anxiety, and even depression
The two-way street between poor sleep and emotional health
Practical lifestyle strategies (beyond medication) to improve sleep and stabilize mood
When it’s time to seek professional help — and what options are available
Simple first steps you can take today to feel more rested and emotionally balanced
Whether you’re in the thick of night sweats and restless nights or just beginning to notice changes, this conversation is full of clarity, compassion, and actionable advice.
✨ Tune in and take the first step toward better sleep and steadier moods.
