Welcome to the Sleep Coach.
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.280
I'm your host, Shelly Simpson.
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.839
If you're exhausted, but your mind won't shut off at night, you're in the right place.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:19.920
Each week, we'll unpack the science of sleep, hormones, and the nervous system so you can understand what's happening in your body and finally get the rest you deserve.
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:21.679
Here we quiet the 3 a.m.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.280
mind, calm the body, and help you finally get the sleep you've been missing.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:41.840
Hey friend, if you've ever found yourself wide awake at 2 or 3 in the morning, your body exhausted, but your mind running a marathon you didn't sign up for, you're not alone.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.759
Welcome to the Sleep Coach.
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:56.000
I'm your host, Shelly Simpson, wellness coach, and someone who understands just how frustrating it is to feel tired all day and wired the moment your head hits the pillow.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:10.079
This podcast is for the woman over 40 who's done guessing, done blaming herself, and definitely done relying on another glass of wine or over-the-counter sleep aid just to get through the night.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:16.079
Because here's the truth no one talks about your sleep struggles are not random.
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:26.719
They're connected to your hormones, your nervous system, your stress, and the mental load you've been carrying for years.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:35.680
And the good news, when you understand what's actually happening in your body, you can finally start sleeping again.
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:50.959
Each week, I'll walk you through simple, practical strategies to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like yourself again without medication.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.200
We'll talk about everything from racing thoughts at 3 a.m.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:06.400
to cortisol spikes to nighttime habits that are secretly working against you, all in a way that actually fits your real life.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:13.120
Because this isn't about perfection, it's about giving your body what it's been asking for all along.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:25.919
So if you're ready to stop dreading bedtime and start waking up with energy, clarity, and calm, hit follow and let's get you sleeping again.
