Laura is the CEO of a startup that brings education to developing countries. Her company focuses on hybrid learning models that combine digital tools with physical spaces. Right now, she\u2019s working closely with partners in Rwanda, where her team trains teachers and daycare workers who support both preschool and school-aged children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s plenty of meaningful work; the key is getting enough sleep. It\u2019s expert-level work, if you’re tired, it doesn\u2019t function well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of her startup, Laura also owns a yoga studio with other instructors. These two very different businesses keep her life busy and exciting, but also demanding. With so much going on, sleep isn\u2019t just a luxury for Laura, it\u2019s essential for staying sharp and energized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, Laura has noticed that sleep doesn\u2019t come as easily as it used to. Falling asleep has become more difficult, and her partner\u2019s snoring often makes things worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s harder to fall asleep\u2014this has come with age. I\u2019ve always been the type who stays up late and sleeps in. My partner\u2019s snoring has gotten worse with age, and when I can\u2019t fall asleep, the snoring keeps the difficulty going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She believes these changes are mostly due to hormones. While stress has affected her sleep in the past, it\u2019s not a major issue right now. Still, the overall quality of her sleep has gone down, and that\u2019s had a real impact on how she feels during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Laura, getting good sleep is one of the most important ways to manage menopause symptoms and stay well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe most unpleasant symptom has been sleep issues. Sleeping better is key to feeling better overall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although medication has helped with other symptoms, poor sleep tends to make everything feel worse. She\u2019s not alone in this, many of her friends going through the same stage of life have said the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura wants other women to know that sleep problems during perimenopause or menopause are common\u2014and treatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the number one thing to get sorted. For many, it might not even be obvious that sleep issues are a symptom of perimenopause or menopause. If you\u2019re at a certain age, it\u2019s worth checking whether it could be related to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She recommends trying simple tools like earplugs and sleep masks, and looking into the many services now available to help improve sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noise, especially snoring and sudden sounds, have long disrupted Laura\u2019s sleep. Over the years, she tried everything from basic earplugs to noise-canceling headphones and AirPods, but none were quite right. Earplugs worsened her mild tinnitus, headphones were too bulky for bed, and AirPods were simply uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That changed when a friend recommended QuietOn 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt came at the perfect time when I needed it. It\u2019s more comfortable, stays in place better, and works more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the start, Laura found them easy to use. The clear instructions and adjustable ear tips helped her get a snug fit\u2014especially important since she has shallow ears. A standout moment was a night train ride from Helsinki to Kemij\u00e4rvi. Despite the usual noise from stops and announcements, she slept soundly through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t wake up at all\u2014except when the Rovaniemi announcement came on. My body seemed to know it was time to wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, QuietOn 4 has become a key part of her sleep routine. Laura now sleeps more deeply and wakes up feeling refreshed. Even as a side sleeper, she finds them comfortable to wear all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhenever I\u2019ve worn them, I\u2019ve slept consistently well. It\u2019s a great addition to improving sleep quality, especially in situations where falling asleep might be difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked to sum it up, she doesn\u2019t hesitate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEasy to use, tiny, and excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
