So… you’re in your 40s (or late 30s, or 50s) and suddenly… *You're wide awake at 3:12AM with your heart racing and your sheets drenched *You forget words mid-sentence, and your family thinks you’re losing it *Your periods are chaotic, your skin is breaking out like you’re 15, and you're crying at insurance commercials *You’re exhausted but wired, anxious but numb, and wondering if this is… it?

On this show, we talk about: -What’s actually happening in perimenopause (and how to survive it) -How to actually tune into what your body is telling you -How your Human Design is the map back home to yourself -How to trust yourself again after years of people-pleasing -What to do when your life looks “fine” but you feel anything but -And how to design this chapter of your life—on your own damn terms Whether you're waking up wondering, “Who am I now?” Or you’re knee-deep in hot flashes, hormonal chaos, and career confusion… You don’t need to hold it together—you just need a better map. This is where you get it. Each episode is like a midlife permission slip with practical tools, real talk, and the occasional well-placed F-bomb. Because you don’t need to go back to who you were.

In this episode of Midlife by Design, Lori Lisai explores sleep through the lens of Human Design.

Forget generic sleep hacks. This is about aligning your sleep with your energy — so you can wake up clearer, calmer, and more yourself. Takeaways: Why 40–50% of midlife women struggle with insomnia, and why it’s more than “just hormones.” How sacral vs. non-sacral types can approach sleep differently. The surprising truth about why sleeping alone might actually help you rest deeper. Specific tips for Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. How naps, nighttime routines, and even the moon cycle play into quality rest. Why experimenting with your own design is the key to better sleep in midlife.
