I slept.

At least, technically. I was in bed.

The hours passed.
The lights were off.
Morning still feels heavy.

Then the day begins, and something feels off.

A word disappears mid-sentence.
You walk into a room and forget why.
Simple tasks take longer than they should.

Many women immediately worry about memory.

Often, the bigger issue is sleep.
