Product details

Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis by Ada Calhoun explores the unique challenges facing Generation X women—those born between 1965 and 1980—in their middle age. Raised to believe they could "have it all," these women now face exhaustion, financial insecurity, underemployment, and the complex pressures of simultaneously caring for aging parents and growing children.

Calhoun highlights that this generation grew up with high expectations but encountered economic stagnation, rising debt, and shifting social norms that have made their midlife experience particularly difficult. The book draws on interviews with hundreds of women to paint a vivid picture of their struggles with money, work-life balance, relationships, and existential fears

Key Features

Rather than offering easy fixes, Calhoun encourages understanding the societal and cultural forces shaping these pressures and finding community and realistic coping strategies. The book is an important cultural and political examination that validates the frustration felt by many Gen X women and offers hope through shared experience and self-acceptance.
