1-in-11 Canadian adults live with insomnia. This is impacting our current well-being, our work performace, relationships, road safety and our long-term health.

An overwhelming 70+% of the Menopause Chicks Community meet the criteria for insomnia!
While there is high demand right now for menopause education, I am a firm believer (with my own lived experience!) that when we address SLEEP as our #1 priority, it puts us in a much stronger position to make the other important health decisions we need to make for our current & long-term health.
Here's what YOU can do next:
Please share your experiences with sleep disruption and/or insomnia. You will be helping yourself AND many others like you. Take the Menopause Chicks Sleep Survey (5-6 minutes) here.
