Kim Cattrall Shares Insomnia Battle, Offers Menopause Guidance to Women

In October 2025, acclaimed actress Kim Cattrall, 69, is opening up about her experience with perimenopause and her mission to help other women navigate this transition. Cattrall, known for her role in the hit series Sex and the City, reveals that her perimenopause journey was "very challenging," particularly with insomnia that lasted for an extended period.

"It affected me in particular with insomnia, which went on for a long time. It was really difficult functioning on three hours of sleep," Cattrall shares. Reflecting on her experience, she notes that her mother did not want to discuss menopause, leaving Cattrall feeling "stranded" at the time.

Now, Cattrall is partnering with Natural Cycles, a women's health company behind the world's first FDA-cleared birth control app, to raise awareness and provide support for women going through perimenopause. "Their mission is to demystify what goes on and to make it easier for you to understand what's happening outside and inside your body with an app that educates and informs you about your menopause journey," she explains.

Cattrall's message to other women is one of hope and empowerment. "I want to pass on the message that there's stuff out there -- available information that can help you understand your symptoms," she says. "So educate yourself. Try to find out what your menopause is like."
