There is something similar as testosterone levels decline after 40, except I understand it’s typically a much less noticable process since it’s a gradual decline vs estrogen levels just tanking. I don’t know if that ultimately effects sleep, but other changes like activity, stress, diet and other habits will.

I’ve been perimenopausal for several years now and the worst symptom I’ve experienced is the sleep disruption. Last week I basically stopped sleeping, so I’m on hormones now. There’s a slight relief, but at least I’m getting 6 very interrupted hours which is better than last week!

I wonder how many companies that produce boneless chicken wings actually include any wing meat.

I appreciate that there are those that seek to hold companies to truth in advertising and certain standards, but as an adult in her 50’s I’ve never once thought that a McRib would contain rib meat. It’s processed pork that’s shaped like ribs. If anything, that’s more accurate than chunks of chicken breast sold as boneless wings.

I hear what you’re saying, but I also appreciate their willingness to find a solution for their need.

I ended up with some cases of chocolate plant based muscle milk, which is at best really ok. If I drink it in the morning I’ll throw a fat scoop of instant espresso and some benefiber in it. Covers my morning needs and tastes a little better lol.
