Why you wake wired, not tired
The normal predawn cortisol rise can meet reduced GABA and progesterone buffering, creating alertness at precisely the wrong hour.
Evidence-based perimenopause protocol
Fall back asleep in twelve minutes.Without waiting weeks for a consultation.
You are not broken. You are unbuffered.
Cortisol climbs between 2 and 4 a.m. in every human body. In perimenopause, declining progesterone can strip away the brain's natural sedative buffer — so a rise that used to pass unnoticed now arrives as full alertness.
This clinical framework helps you reset tonight, so you can fall back asleep before the spiral takes hold.
