Women's Health Week is a powerful reminder to prioritise our wellbeing – and this year's theme, "do it anyway", encourages us to take small, realistic steps toward our health, even when life is busy or symptoms are easy to push through.

Today's focus is "to rest”, and for many women, that starts with better sleep. 💤

Our latest Aussie Sleep Snapshot survey reveals that 63.9% of perimenopausal or menopausal Australians report their sleep has worsened in some way during this life stage.

Hormonal changes, night sweats, and shifting routines can all take a toll, but there are evidence-based strategies that can help you sleep better through menopause.

The Sleep Health Foundation is proud content partner of Jean Hailes for Women's Health's Women's Health Week – Australia's largest campaign dedicated to the health and wellbeing of women, girls and gender-diverse people.

⁉️If your child's sleep improved... what would it give you back?

That's the question Sleep Psychologist Nathan Harriott posed to the Masterclass for Mums this week, and it set the tone for an impressive session on sleep stages, sleep patterns, and sleep efficacy across the lifespan.

💜🫶What stood out most was Nathan's family systems approach—looking at the biological, psychological, and social influences on sleep, and honouring the mutuality between mother and child. No prescriptive must-dos, no one-size-fits-all fixes. Just a gentle, iterative, and individualised approach that meets each family where they are.

Thanks so much Harriott for sharing your expertise! We're looking forward to another collab with Restore Sleep Clinic soon.

Is your family struggling with sleep? You're not alone.

Sleep is crucial for the physical and emotional growth of children and teens. Without enough sleep, their focus, school performance, and ability to handle emotions can suffer. It can even lead to behavior issues and a higher chance of obesity.
For parents, looking after babies or children with sleep problems can impact their own sleep, leaving them feeling exhausted, irritable, and less alert.
Ensuring everyone gets enough sleep is vital for children’s healthy development and for keeping parents feeling well and able to care effectively.
