About this trial

\*\*Participants must live in San Diego County\*\*

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an experimental Sleep \& Light Intervention (SALI) for menopausal mood changes or depression. Researchers want to find out whether adjusting the body's internal clock-which helps regulate sleep, hormones, mood, and energy- can improve symptoms such as depression, poor sleep, and low energy during menopause.
