Why Sleep Gets Harder After 55 — And What You Can Actually Do About It
Expertly Written by
Hallie Smith
If you’ve noticed your sleep changing over the years — you’re not imagining it.
Falling asleep takes longer. Staying asleep feels harder. And the deep, restorative rest you used to enjoy? It’s harder to come by.
Sleep challenges become more common for women after 55 — and there are a few important reasons why.
1. Hormones Shift — Especially After Menopause
As oestrogen and progesterone levels drop, they take with them some of the natural support your body once had for rest.
These hormonal changes can increase night sweats, anxiety, and reduce the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
All of which can lead to light, interrupted sleep — or difficulty falling asleep at all.
2. Stress Affects You Differently Now
What used to be “mild worry” can now turn into full-on night-time overthinking. That’s because the nervous system becomes more sensitive over time, especially when combined with hormonal changes.
Your body’s stress response doesn’t turn off as easily — and that can keep your mind alert, even when you’re tired.
3. Digestion and Blood Sugar Fluctuations Can Wake You Up
As we age, our metabolism slows and gut health changes. Many women find they become more sensitive to what they eat in the evening, especially sugar, caffeine, or heavy meals.
Unstable blood sugar or digestive discomfort can lead to 2–4am wake-ups — just when you should be in your deepest sleep cycle.
4. You're Not Alone — And You’re Not Helpless
We speak to women every week who tell us:
“I’m doing everything right, but I still can’t sleep.”
“I fall asleep OK, but I’m wide awake at 3am.”
“I just want to wake up feeling refreshed again.”

Everything else you need to know
How does Hypnos help you sleep?
Hypnos combines calming clinically supported botanicals, amino acids, and minerals like reishi, magnesium, and L-theanine to quiet your mind, relax your body, and support deeper, more restorative sleep—naturally.
What should I expect from Hypnos?
Most people feel a sense of calm and sleepiness within an hour of drinking Hypnos.
Many say they fall asleep faster, wake less during the night, and feel more rested in the morning.
If you’re usually wired at bedtime or find it hard to switch off, Hypnos helps ease that transition.
For deeper, long-term benefits—like improved sleep quality and mood—enjoy a cup nightly for at least a few weeks.
What does Hypnos taste like?
Think of a creamy, velvety hot chocolate—but deeper, richer, and more grown-up.
No added sugars or sweeteners, just the natural richness of ceremonial cacao with a hint of cinnamon.
Is there any sugar or sweeteners in Hypnos?
No. We are very proud to use no sweeteners, artificial sugars or added sugar in Hypnos or any of our products.
Is Hypnos suitable for my diet?
Hypnos is gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan.
