sleep can get more fragmented.
Trouble staying asleep, waking earlier than you want, or suddenly being wide awake in the middle of the night can occur during perimenopause — with or without hot flashes or night sweats.
nighttime nutrition for the nights that start feeling different
sleep protein® + women's health
when your nights start feeling different.
Perimenopause can make sleep feel less predictable — and midlife is also a smart time to take muscle seriously. Sleep Protein brings sleep support + 20g protein into one simple bedtime routine.

perimenopause can show up after dark.
Hormone levels fluctuate through the menopausal transition. For many women, the result is not simply “less sleep.” It is a night that behaves differently.
40–60%
Sleep disturbances affect an estimated 40–60% of peri- and post-menopausal women, according to the Canadian Menopause Society.

temperature can become the interrupter.
Hot flashes and night sweats are common in the menopausal transition and can break up sleep. But sleep changes can also happen even when temperature is not the reason you woke.
mood and sleep can overlap.
Mood changes are also reported during perimenopause, and mood issues can contribute to disrupted sleep. That overlap matters because Sleep Protein's licensed sleep claim is specifically tied to sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance.
muscle deserves more attention now, too.
Research observes changes in lean and muscle mass across the menopause transition. The practical takeaway is simple: strength training and adequate dietary protein are worth treating as long-game habits, not just fitness goals.
one routine · two priorities
your bedtime routine can do more than wind you down.
Sleep Protein was not created to treat perimenopause. It was created for nights when sleep support and recovery nutrition both matter — which makes the routine especially relevant in this stage of life.
priority one
support the sleep side.
A melatonin-free formula licensed to help relieve sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance and help temporarily promote relaxation.
priority two
bring protein into the night.
Each scoop provides 20g protein. The formula is also licensed as a source of amino acids for muscle protein synthesis and to assist in building lean muscle tissue.

questions worth asking
