Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Meditation Studio, the five-star app, and Muse, the brain-sensing

headband that helps you meditate. I'm Patricia Carpice. I'm super excited to tell you a little bit

about Muse S and the new sleep section. The sleep experience was created to help you turn off your busy mind at night

and relax into a deep sleep with guided sleep journeys, beautiful soundscapes, and special meditations.

When you wear your muse S overnight, the new sleep tracking features track your sleep and give you insights and data to help

you better understand your sleep habits and patterns. Each morning, you can review the detailed

sleep information on the Muse app sleep results screen. It's very cool stuff. Check it out at

choose muse.com and use the Muse stress less promo code to get your 15% discount.

And it may be a great holiday gift for friends and family.

This week, in honor of the new muse features, we encoreed Chris Winter and now Dr. Shelby Harris.

Shelby is a clinical psychologist, board certified and behavioral sleep disorders, and the former director of the behavioral sleep medicine program

at Montefiore Medical Center. Her newest book is called The Women's Guide to Overcoming

Insomnia, Get a Good Night's Sleep without

relying on medication. Shelby covers the nuts and bolts of a good night's sleep, how our hormones

affect our sleep, and how we can change certain habits, thoughts, and behaviors so we can stomp

out insomnia for good. Now here's Shelby. Shelby, it is such a pleasure to have you

back on Untangle. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me, Patricia. I love talking

with you. Yeah, you were one of our first meditation teachers, a sleep expert, and you did our sleep basics course on

meditation studio. And now you've just come out with your first book called The Women's Guide

to Overcoming Insomnia. First of all, I'm so proud of you. Thank you so much for writing this book.

We need it. That's for sure. And let's

start with this question. Why did you decide to write this book? There are books out there
