Perimenopause & Menopause

The flagship group. Covers three life-stage populations whose sleep physiology mainstream sleep content treats as an afterthought: perimenopause/menopause, pregnancy, and older adulthood. Every guide is mechanism-first (why this life stage disrupts sleep the way it does) and calibrated to that population's real decisions: what's safe to take or try, what's normal aging versus a red flag, and when to seek a clinician. Each article carries a named, credentialed medical reviewer, an evidence tier (RCT / observational / consensus), a last-reviewed date, and a safety flag where a specific intervention is discussed. Boundary: excludes ADHD/neurodivergent-specific content (see Neurodivergent Sleep) and general population insomnia mechanics (see Explainers) unless directly intersecting, in which case it cross-links rather than duplicates. For an immediate question, check the Sleep FAQ, or reach out through Find a Specialist if you need to talk to a clinician directly.
