Unlock Your Menopause Superpower: The ZAOWOMAN Guide to Restful Nights

At ZAOWOMAN, we know that menopause does not just shift your calendar, it can shift your sleep. Night sweats, early waking, brain fog and restlessness are all too common. With gentle strategies, smart routines and the right support, you can reclaim the restorative sleep you deserve.


Sleep is not optional. It is your nightly reset for hormones, mood, memory and metabolism. In midlife, it is more precious than ever.


Why Sleep Matters More Now

Hormonal changes during menopause tip the balance of cortisol, reduce deep sleep and heighten night-time awakenings. Poor sleep can worsen hot flushes, increase anxiety and undermine energy levels and cognitive clarity. Long term, it contributes to weight gain, insulin resistance and low emotional resilience.


That makes prioritising sleep not a luxury, but a self-care necessity. It is a statement that you are here to thrive, not just survive.


Sleep Tools That Support ZAOWOMAN Wellness

Crafted by sleep physiologist Dr Guy Meadows, Sleep School is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I), offering a compassionate and science-backed path to better rest.


  • Personalised plan based on a short survey of your sleep challenges

  • Nightly audio guides called “Nightlies” to support you in the moment

  • Structured courses like the 7-day audio series and the 30-day Overcoming Insomnia programme

  • 81% of users report significantly improved sleep after completing the main course

This app is ideal for those who want depth, empathy and lasting results.


Sleepio offers online cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in six weekly sessions. Your virtual guide, The Prof, walks you through evidence-based techniques that match the effectiveness of in-person therapy. NHS trials found users gained nearly six extra hours of sleep per week.


Previously called Relax Melodies, BetterSleep is a calming audio library of soundscapes, bedtime stories, meditations and breathing exercises. Ideal for winding down on nights when your mind will not switch off.


Loóna combines 3D interactive colouring with music and storytelling to create immersive “sleepscapes”. It is an award-winning blend of creativity and relaxation for those who like an active wind-down.
