Struggling to sleep through the night? You’re not alone. And this episode might be exactly what your body and mind need. In this honest and hilarious conversation, the Girls Gone Gritty crew tackles the very real sleep struggles affecting women (and their families) today. From racing minds and blue light exposure to menopause and magnesium, they share their personal rituals, high-tech tools like the Ühler cooling system, and why scrolling before bed might be ruining your rest.
They also explore generational sleep patterns, parenting habits, and how simple routines, such as lullabies or white noise, can make a significant difference. Plus, you’ll hear some eye-opening health warnings about dangerous energy drinks, the tourism backlash making headlines, and an inspiring “Got Grit” teacher story that’ll stay with you.
If you’re tired of being tired, this one’s for you. Listen, laugh, and maybe even nap a little better tonight.
