We made it to @fox29philly!
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible @alexholleytv at FOX 29 Philadelphia to talk about one of the most important and most overlooked conversations in women’s health, how perimenopause and menopause change your sleep and what you can actually do about it!
We talked about what is actually happening in your body during perimenopause, why your sleep changes the way it does, and the evidence based strategies that actually work to help you sleep better
If you missed it do not worry, you can watch the full segment here!

Some of these sleep rules are not what you think.
I am reacting to all of it and I promise at least one of my answers is going to surprise you.
Because a lot of what we have been told about sleep is either incomplete, outdated, or just flat out wrong. And as a sleep physician it is my job to set the record straight.
Are you a woman in midlife who has been following all the rules and still cannot sleep?
Comment MIDLIFE below to get direct access to a coaching session with me to address your sleep issues.

Let me reintroduce myself...
I'm Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown — triple board-certified sleep physician, founder of The Restful Sleep Place, and bestselling author of Beyond Tired.
But more than any title, I'm someone who genuinely believes that sleep changes everything.
I've seen it in my clinic. I've lived it as a mom of two. And I've made it my mission to help everyone who’s running on empty and start thriving through real, restorative sleep.
This page is where science meets real life. Where exhaustion meets hope. And where we figure out sleep, together. 💙
If you're new here, welcome. I'm so glad you found us.
What brought you here today? Drop it in the comments. I'd love to know your story. 👇🏿

You're exhausted. You get into bed. And your brain decides now is the perfect time to race 😣
The to-do list.
That conversation from three days ago. Something that isn't even due until next month 🥴
This is one of the most common complaints I hear from women in perimenopause.
And it is not a willpower problem and it's NOT a relaxation problem.
Shifting estrogen and progesterone directly affect the systems in your brain that help you wind down and transition into sleep.
Your body isn't cooperating because the chemistry behind falling asleep has changed, not because you are bad at relaxing.
The fix is also different depending on the cause.
Sometimes it is purely hormonal but many times there is a sleep disorder layered on top making it worse.
As a physician board certified in sleep medicine and certified in menopause care ; I can tell you which one it is instead of handing you a "try harder” answer 🫂
If bedtime has become a nightly battle with your own brain, let's talk.

As a sleep physician and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I want to say this with all the love:
if your sleep problems are primarily driven by hormones, then treating the hormones can make a real difference.
But if you’ve tried different formulations, added supplements, and nothing is working, and you had sleep struggles even before perimenopause, there’s a very high likelihood you have an underlying sleep disorder.
And the good news? Sleep disorders are treatable.
If you’re a woman in midlife and you’re struggling with your sleep, book your appointment online today. We’re here for that. 🫂

Your circadian rhythm does so much more than just tell you when to sleep! ⏰ It impacts everything from your mood and blood pressure to your lung function and digestion.
When your wake-up time constantly changes, it can throw your hormones into chaos. Maintaining a consistent sleep-wake schedule helps your body anticipate your day and keep your hormones balanced.
Consistency is key! 🔑✨

You can spend less time in bed and get more sleep.
Sounds backwards, right?
In my latest video, I explain bedtime restriction, a key part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia.
If tossing and turning isn’t working, this might be the shift you need.
Watch the full video - link in bio.
Have you ever tried CBT-I? Tell me about it below. 👇🏿

If you were told your sleep study was mild and no treatment is needed, we need to revisit that conversation 🫂
I need you to understand that "mild" refers to one number.
🤷🏽♀️How many times per hour your airway obstructs.
It says nothing about:
👉🏽 How far your oxygen drops during those events
👉🏽 How severely your sleep is fragmented
👉🏽 How your body specifically responds to those disruptions
👉🏽 The cumulative toll of years of unrestorative sleep
Two people can have identical "mild" scores.
One feels fine while the other one is barely functioning.
The number does not tell the whole story, your symptoms do.
And "mild" was never meant to be a permission slip to keep suffering 🥴
The evidence is clear; mild OSA with significant symptoms warrants treatment.
If you were sent home without a treatment conversation, this was NOT
the complete answer.
You deserved more than a number and a dismissal.
At The Restful Sleep Place we treat the person in front of us and offer personalized solutions for mild apnea or any other apnea for that matter.

Light is the strongest signal your body clock gets, which is why so many sleep tips are about light.
But not every popular tip is equally helpful.
Which light hack have you tried? Did it help? 👇🏿

Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? 😴 As women enter perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can disrupt sleep patterns. While estrogen and progesterone get most of the attention, sleep is regulated by a complex system of hormones, including melatonin, growth hormone, and insulin.
A drop in progesterone, in particular, plays a major role in sleep continuity—often leading to frequent wakeups and poorer sleep quality.

From years of struggling with both sleep apnea and insomnia to sleeping better than ever.
Sleep apnea and insomnia so often go hand in hand and yet so rarely get addressed together properly.

Thank you for trusting us with your sleep journey. We are so proud of how far you have come.
