Ever noticed how one bad sleep can turn into a whole story? 😴

When sleep becomes unpredictable, that story can start before your feet even hit the floor in the morning.

I hardly slept.
I'll be exhausted today.
How will I get everything done?
I won't be able to concentrate.
I really need to sleep tonight.
What if I can't sleep tonight?

And before you know it, you're not just tired, you're worrying about being tired, and then you're worrying about not sleeping well again. Ever.

Because our minds are very good at turning what happened once into what "could" happen again.

And before long, you might find yourself going to bed every night wondering how badly you're going to sleep.

The night's poor sleep was one problem.

But the story that it could always be this way can eventually become something you start to believe.

You might be tired. You might have a slower day. And you might need an earlier night.

But you don't have to decide at 7 a.m. how the rest of your day, or your night, is going to go.

During midlife, sleep can be unpredictable without being permanently broken.

And changing the story can stop one or two bad nights from becoming a prediction about every night that follows.

Next time you have a restless night, notice the story you're telling yourself.

And have yourself a better day 🙏

Something fabulous happens every day. Don't miss it 😉

The timing is almost comical 😆 And it's no wonder the kitchen can occasionally feel like a hostage negotiation situation.

Just as a teenager's brain is learning to manage a new flood of hormones, a midlife mom's hormones can become wildly unpredictable in the opposite direction.

Teenagers are building their independence and identity. While perimenopausal moms are often reclaiming their identity after years of mothering.

Understanding what's happening on both sides can transform how we see each other.

This is the crossover I explored in my book, Perimenopause and Parenting. You'll find the link in my bio ✨
