Why You Keep Waking at 3am

Many women in perimenopause and menopause begin waking between 2–4am with racing thoughts, anxiety, heat, restlessness, or a sudden sense of alertness. This can also be a very common human experience when we're dealing with stress or emotional overwhelm. In this video, we explore why 3am wake-ups happen through and why this experience doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. We’ll talk about nervous system activation at night, that "problem solving" mind that wakes up when it's dark and how to respond more compassionately and effectively when you wake up. This is not about forcing sleep. It’s about helping your nervous system feel safer, calmer, and less alone in the experience. If you’ve been waking in the middle of the night during perimenopause, menopause, stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm — this video is for you. If you need a meditation practice to help you reset and go back to sleep I hope you'll check out A Soft Reset For Sleepless Nights!
