Is Sleep Paralysis Dangerous? Myths, Facts, and How to Cope

Is Sleep Paralysis Dangerous?

We’ll explore the causes of sleep paralysis, the symptoms you might experience, and how to stop sleep paralysis using proven behavioral treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i).

Have your nights changed since entering perimenopa Have your nights changed since entering perimenopause? 

If you’ve suddenly become a lighter sleeper, started waking up at 3 or 4 a.m., or feel exhausted but can’t stay asleep, you’re not imagining it.

For many women, perimenopause brings significant changes to sleep, even if they’ve never struggled with it before.

It’s also easy to blame yourself or feel like you’re “failing” at sleep. But in reality, many women are navigating a combination of hormonal changes, increased stress, a more sensitive nervous system, and sleep anxiety.

A few reminders:

✨ Consistency matters more than perfection.
✨ Trying harder to sleep usually backfires.
✨ A consistent wake time, morning light, regular movement, and calming your nervous system can all support better sleep.
✨ CBT-i is one of the most effective treatments for insomnia, including during perimenopause.

If sleep has become something you dread or worry about, know that you’re not alone.

Inspired by @sophied_fit meet my mini me: Janice 👋 Inspired by @sophied_fit meet my mini me: Janice 👋✨

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I spend a lot of time talking about insomnia, sleep anxiety, and chronic pain.

That’s where Janice comes in. 🤭

She’s the version of me that says what I’m thinking... just with a little less of a filter.

She’ll be sharing honest, evidence-based sleep advice, practical tips, mindset shifts, and the occasional reality check when we all need one.

💬 What do you think of Janice? Should she become a regular?

If you’ve ever done middle-of-the-night sleep math If you’ve ever done middle-of-the-night sleep math… you’re not alone!

“If I fall asleep right now, I’ll get 6 hours.”

“Okay now 5.5.”

“Okay now tomorrow is officially ruined.” 

The problem is that calculating, checking, and monitoring sleep tells your brain:

🚨 this is important
🚨 we need to figure this out
🚨 stay alert

And staying alert is the exact opposite of what we need for sleep.

The goal isn’t to convince yourself you’ll sleep perfectly.

It’s to take the pressure off and let sleep happen. 

Save this for your next 3am math session 😂

You know those moments when you’re hoping I’ll tell you that the newest supplement, sleep gadget, or bedtime routine is the answer?

Yeah... Janice probably won’t. 🤭

She’s here to tell it like it is.

Because sometimes the advice that actually helps isn’t the advice we _want_ to hear.

💬 She’ll be sharing:

- Honest, evidence-based sleep advice
- Practical tips you can actually use
- Mindset shifts that take the pressure off sleep
- A few gentle reality checks when you need them most

Think of Janice as the little voice that says what I’m thinking... just with a little less of a filter. 😉
