Reclaim Your Rest:

Hey There!

I’m Sarah Fuhrmann, a certified sleep and menopause coach and a veteran of menopause and postmenopause.

During and after menopause, good sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. 

 Let’s face it - it's hard to feel or perform your best if you're not getting the rest your body needs!

If you're struggling with sleep, know that it's not just a minor inconvenience—it's something that needs to be addressed for your overall health and well-being.

Why Sleep Matters In Menopause

If you're not sleeping well, it's almost guaranteed that other areas of your life will be off, too.

• Weight Management:
  If you're struggling with your weight during or after menopause, lack of sleep may be part of the reason. Poor sleep can disrupt the hormones that control hunger and appetite, leading to weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
• Cognitive Function
  Poor sleep exacerbates brain fog and inattention, which are common during and after menopause. A good night's sleep is crucial for cognitive function and memory.
• Overall Health
  Lack of sleep increases the risk of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This Is especially concerning in postmenopause because our risk for these conditions goes up at this stage.
• Immune System
  Adequate sleep is essential for a strong immune system. Without it, you're more susceptible to infections and illnesses
• Hormonal Changes
  The changes in estrogen and progesterone in menopause can wreak havoc on your sleep. Hot flashes, night sweats, middle-of-the-night wake-ups can persist into postmenopause.
