INSOMNIA AFTER 40
Are you over 40 and tired of spending your nights staring at the ceiling, counting sheep, and wondering why a good night's sleep has become so difficult?
You go to bed exhausted, hoping for a peaceful night, but your mind suddenly decides it is the perfect time to review tomorrow's responsibilities, yesterday's worries, and every unfinished task from the past ten years!
If this sounds familiar, this book is for you.
After the age of 40, sleep patterns can change. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, lifestyle habits, physical discomfort, and changes in the body's natural sleep-wake cycle may contribute to difficulties falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and waking up feeling tired.
But poor sleep does not have to become your new normal.
In Insomnia After 40, Brigitta Balogh Wittman, a physiotherapist, explores the fascinating relationship between sleep, physical health, movement, stress, and everyday habits.
Combining accessible explanations with practical lifestyle recommendations, this guide helps readers better understand the factors that influence sleep and discover strategies that may support more restful nights.
