  • Waking Up at 2AM: This is EXACTLY How to Stop It

    Waking Up at 2AM: This is EXACTLY How to Stop It
    Mar 6 2026
    If you are waking at 2:00 AM wide awake, mind racing and calculating how little sleep you have left, this episode is for you. In this episode, I unpack what is really driving the 2:00 AM wake up in women over 35. This is rarely a sleep hygiene problem. And it is not that you are bad at switching off. In most cases, it is a hormonal and metabolic cascade showing up as a sleep issue. We explore why alcohol fragments the second half of sleep, even if it helps you fall asleep, how declining progesterone affects GABA and your ability to buffer stress overnight, and why under fuelling at dinner can trigger a 2:00 AM cortisol spike through blood sugar dips. I also share the exact dinner tweak and evening wind down stack I use personally and with clients, plus the CAP formula to stop your brain rehearsing tomorrow at 2:00 AM. This is a practical, physiology first episode for high performing women who are tired of being told to just relax and want to address the real root cause. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: • Why do you wake up at 2:00 AM? • Does alcohol disrupt sleep in the second half of the night? • Can low progesterone affect sleep quality? • Can low blood sugar wake you up at night? • Should you eat carbohydrates at dinner for better sleep? • Do glycine, magnesium or L theanine improve sleep? • Does morning sunlight improve sleep at night? • How do you stop overthinking at 2:00 AM? • What is the CAP method and how does it reduce cognitive load? • What should you do if you wake in the night?

Angela does a great job targeting important topics for women and explaining them in a way that’s digestible and applicable. I love the bite size pods too because they’re short and informative!

Highly recommend for female athletes!
