the Thursday newsletter

Why you’re up at 3 a.

goop - the thursday newsletter

For most of my life, good sleep was something I took for granted. I could sleep anywhere—on planes, in cars, even upright in a makeup chair. It felt almost like a superpower. But around 46, I started waking up inexplicably at 3 a.m.—sometimes drenched in sweat, other times just… wide awake. There was no rhyme or reason, and nothing worked: I tried L-theanine, melatonin, every clean sleep hack I could get my hands on. But no matter what I tried, that deep, uninterrupted sleep I once considered part of my identity remained elusive.  This week, we asked top experts to break down exactly what’s happening to our sleep during perimenopause—and why it’s not something we have to just live with. The hormonal shifts, the night sweats, the memory lapses and mood swings that follow a bad night’s sleep—we went deep on all of it. And most important, we looked at the science-backed ways to start sleeping better again. If you’re in your forties or fifties and finding yourself awake in the middle of the night, this one’s for you.

“Women’s hair is thinning faster—and at younger ages—than ever. It’s not a question of if; it’s just when and how it’s happening.”
