40. Why Your Body Is Waking You Up at 3AM
About this episode
Waking up at 3AM is one of the most common things I hear from women in their late 30s and beyond.
You fall asleep just fine…
but somewhere between 2–4AM, your eyes open and you’re suddenly wide awake.
In this episode, we’re starting a new series called “What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You” and unpacking what may actually be happening beneath the surface when this pattern shows up.
We walk through three of the most common drivers of early morning wake-ups, and when you understand what your body may be responding to, the conversation shifts from frustration to clarity.
