Is Perimenopause Wrecking Your Sleep? Here’s How to Take It Back with Dr. Meredith Broderick
That’s the question millions of women are asking — but most doctors still aren’t answering.
In my latest episode of Sleep Is My Waking Passion, I sat down with Dr. Meredith Broderick, MD — a Stanford-trained sleep neurologist and behavioral sleep medicine specialist — to unpack why women’s sleep so often falls apart in perimenopause… and why our healthcare system still treats it like a midlife inconvenience instead of a health crisis.
We talk about:
🔹 The real physiological shifts behind 2–3 AM wakeups.
🔹 Why rising sleep apnea rates in women signal a looming epidemic.
🔹 The identity shift needed to stop calling yourself “a bad sleeper.”
🔹 And how to reclaim the rest your body is begging for — without more pills.
🧠 It’s one of the most honest, science‑backed conversations I’ve had yet about the sleep deprivation epidemic no one is talking about loudly enough.
Tag a woman who’s been told, “That’s just midlife.” She deserves better sleep — and better answers.
