Tossing and turning at night? Waking at 3 a.m. and unable to fall back asleep? Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can do that. Unfortunately, sleep struggles are often brushed off as stress or narrowly blamed on screens. Sleep is foundational to your health, and poor sleep is not something you just have to accept: You deserve clear answers and better support.

Join Visana for an easy-to-understand session about how hormones affect sleep. In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • How different hormones influence sleep cycles
  • Common midlife sleep disruptors, including night sweats and anxiety
  • Evidence-based strategies to improve sleep quality
  • When to seek medical care and how to advocate for yourself

Stay after the webinar for a live Q&A with our presenters. Everyone who registers will receive a recording by email.
