    Sleep Like You Give a Damn

    You can do all the right things — hit your protein, take your creatine, train hard — but if you’re sleeping like a feral raccoon behind a dumpster fire of stress, you’re not recovering.In this episode, Catalina and Jonnie get real about why women (especially in midlife) are struggling with sleep and what you can do about it — from hormone shifts and hot flashes to caffeine, cortisol, and scrolling yourself into insomnia. You’ll learn how to build a bedtime routine that actually sticks, how magnesium and L-theanine can support your nervous system, and why recovery isn’t lazy — it’s the foundation of strength. And yes, we talk about the Momentous Sleep Pack — because you deserve rest that doesn’t come from a wine bottle. 💤 In this episode: Why sleep is your body’s repair system How perimenopause wrecks your sleep (and how to counter it) The science of magnesium, L-theanine, and apigenin Simple nighttime rituals for real recovery How to detach from guilt and actually rest 💡 Takeaways: Rest is a skill, not a reward. Caffeine, screens, and cortisol are stealing your recovery. Magnesium + L-theanine can support better sleep quality. Strength gains and fat loss both depend on deep sleep. You don’t earn rest — you build it. 🛌 Further Reading & References American Psychological Association (2023) — Stress in America: Sleep & Health Harvard Health Publishing (2022) — Women and Insomnia: Hormones, Stress, and Solutions Abbasi et al., Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (2012) — Effect of magnesium supplementation on primary insomnia in elderly subjects White et al., Nutrients (2016) — L-theanine: A Natural Sleep Aid That Promotes Relaxation Without Sedation Srivastava et al., Molecular Medicine Reports (2010) — Chamomile: A Herbal Medicine of the Past with Bright Future Roehrs et al., Sleep Medicine Clinics (2018) — Alcohol and Sleep: The Real Connection Momentous Sleep Pack plus other great supplements: https://crrnt.app/MOME/Deb60zaJ Discount Code: SoftcoreDetachment
