Night wake-ups in perimenopause
How many times sleep broke last night, per your wearable. Fragmentation costs as much as short duration — seven broken hours can feel worse than six unbroken ones.

Why it matters in the transition
Sweats, bladder, and unexplained 3am alertness all fragment perimenopausal sleep. The wearable count catches wakings you don't remember; your logged entries catch the ones that mattered and why.
How Perity uses it
Nightly wake counts sync as daily summaries and sit alongside your morning entries — sweat-woke, bladder-woke, just-woke. The measured-plus-felt pairing is the useful record.
The honest caveats
Wearables over- and under-count wakings depending on device and night. The trend is informative; any single night's count is trivia.
