One Thirty Biohacks
Why women sleep differently with Laura Kanadel
In this episode of One Thirty Biohacks, we sit down with certified sleep counsellor and founder of the Sleep Institute, Laura Kanadel, to explore the science behind women's sleep and why their needs often differ from men's.
From puberty and the menstrual cycle to pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause, Laura explains how hormonal changes influence sleep, recovery, mood, and overall wellbeing. We discuss why women are more likely to experience sleep disturbances, how poor sleep affects both physical and mental health, and the practical habits that can make a meaningful difference.

• Why women generally need more sleep than men
• How hormones influence sleep throughout different life stages
• The connection between sleep, stress, and cortisol
• Why the menstrual cycle affects energy and recovery
• Simple, evidence-based strategies for improving sleep quality
