Right so. 3am again. Lying there absolutely wide awake, heart going a bit, brain cycling through nothing important. I've had this on and off for months now and I genuinely cannot work out if it's peri or if it's just... life. Work is full on, kids are stressful, the world is a lot. But it doesn't feel like worry-waking if that makes sense? There's no actual thought attached to it. I just surface, clock says 3-something, and that's it for a couple of hours. I've got a GP appointment coming up and I want to ask properly about HRT and sleep specifically, not just get fobbed off with "have you tried sleep hygiene" (I have, thanks). Does anyone know if there's a particular way to frame the sleep question so it doesn't get dismissed as just stress? Also I've been cutting back on wine in the week which honestly I think is helping a tiny bit, and I've started having a proper breakfast with eggs or something rather than just coffee. No idea if any of this is connected but I feel marginally less destroyed by 11am so I'm counting it. x
