Symptom · perimenopause

The 3am wake-up. Cracked open.

You fall asleep fine, then jolt awake at 3am. Mind racing. Heart pounding. This is the most common perimenopause sleep pattern, and it's reversible.

What's happening

Your body, decoded.

What it feels like

Awake. Wired. Anxious.

Drift off at 10pm, wide awake at 3:02am. Mind running through every worry. Sleep eludes you until 5am.

Why it's happening

Cortisol misfires + low GABA.

Cortisol normally bottoms out at 3am. In perimenopause, low progesterone + low GABA leaves cortisol unopposed. You spike awake.

What we do about it

Targeted blood sugar + GABA protocol.

The 3am wake-ups typically stop within 2-3 weeks with the right protein-led evening pattern + magnesium glycinate.
