Women are twice as likely to have insomnia than men.

Twice is likely. It's really, and when we talk about insomnia, right?

So when we talk about sleep issues, it gets kind of vague when we're talking about life

and just popular meetings in general. So insomnia is trouble falling asleep, staying asleep,

or awakening earlier than you want. And it happens for at least three nights a week

for at least a month to be short term, three months to be long term.

I'm Amy, and I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others.

But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best south means standing firm in

your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real,

with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening

is an opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

Today, we are so excited to talk to Dr. Shelby Harris on the podcast. Dr. Shelby is a mom.

She's a clinical psychologist and she is board certified in behavioral sleep medicine by the

American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Abby and I were obsessed with this interview. I can't even

tell you guys how many times we went off script in a really good way because we asked all the

follow-up questions that all of us need. This whole interview is about adult sleep focused on

women's sleep. And so I think that's something that just does not get enough coverage. I know that

Abby and I learned so much and we were already obsessed with sleep. So I hope that you guys

learn a lot and that this helps you to sleep better. Now let's get to the show.

I think when a lot of us have kids, we understand that it does come with some changes to our sleep.

I mean, it's one thing that we hear a lot in the beginning is, oh, you're not going to sleep,

you're not going to sleep. And there is that period of time where our sleep is very impacted.
