We have another Midlife Minute episode today, dedicated to a single theme, where I answer listener questions one at a time in a concise and focused format.

Join me today as we dive into HRT and sleep issues.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Different types of hormones and delivery methods can impact sleep quality.

  • Why we tend to get sleepy earlier in the evening and wake up earlier in the morning as we age

  • How chronic underlying stress, anxiety, and mood issues impact sleep quality

  • The value of cognitive behavioral therapy and structured insomnia interventions
