Sleep hacks every midlife woman should know – with Dr Sophie Bostock

Quality sleep may be one of the most overlooked tools that we have for healthy ageing. Sleep scientist Dr Sophie Bostock joins Liz to unpack how disrupted sleep in midlife impacts everything from mood and metabolism to cardiovascular wellbeing.


They discuss how perimenopause can interrupt a good night’s rest, the connection between sleep deprivation and blood sugar imbalance, and why catching up with a long lie-in at the weekend might do more harm than good.


Sophie explains how light exposure and regular movement can help your body prepare for rest. She also shares practical advice to help restore healthy circadian rhythms and get your shut-eye back on track.
