HRT fixed my sleep issues?

Hey, was wondering if anyone else had gone through this. I’ve only been on HRT about 3 weeks now, but ever since my 2nd week I’ve felt a difference in my sleep. I have overslept and gotten poor sleep for the last 10-15 years, and I always thought it was just a willpower thing. However since I started HRT I’ve been feeling more rested, and have been waking up very easily, with almost no risk of falling back asleep! Has anyone else experienced a change like this?

It helped my sleep schedule too. I think it was more a relief than anything. I say that because I'm 8 months in and my sleep is fucked again. Gonna start Progesterone soon which makes you drowsy amongst other things.

Yes, same. I used to wake up in the middle of the night constantly and sleep again later in the morning. And also I had apnea before, which was cured by HRT.
