The sleep, the rage, the skin, the brain fog, the identity loss — these are not separate problems needing separate solutions. They are branches of one tree. Fix the trunk and every branch recovers.
On rage and emotional regulation: The connection she has already proven herself — "when I sleep through the night I am so much less reactive." The emotional buffer is not a personality trait. It is a nervous system resource. Replenished overnight. Or not.
On skin: During deep sleep your body releases growth hormone, synthesises collagen, and rebuilds the skin barrier. Fragment that sleep and the repair window closes. Women lose up to 30% of skin collagen in the first five years of perimenopause — driven by hormonal age, not chronological age. Restore the sleep. The skin repairs itself.
