How To Fix Your Sleep Without Pills: The Truth About 40+ Women, Menopause, & Insomnia w/ Dr. Shelby Harris

Dr. Shelby Harris is a licensed clinical psychologist, behavioral sleep medicine specialist, and author of The Women’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia. She has spent over 20 years studying how hormonal changes, anxiety, and societal pressures intersect to rob women of rest. In today’s episode, Dr. Shelby Harris joins me to dive deep into the science and soul of women’s sleep during menopause. We unpack why midlife insomnia is not “just stress” or “part of aging,” and why the body’s repair systems depend on sleep as a foundational vital sign. Dr. Harris explains what CBTI is, why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) should be the first line of treatment for sleep problems instead of pills, and the right way to use CBTI to restore your rest and resilience. Dr. Harris debunks harmful medical myths about sleep aids and reveals what doctors still miss about women’s sleep apnea. You’ll learn how to break “sleep threat conditioning,” track true sleep quality, and create cooling, tech free sleep environments that actually work. You will finally reclaim restorative sleep during perimenopause and beyond. Join us for a conversation that helps you finally understand what your body needs to sleep deeply, feel restored, and wake up with real energy again.Dr. Shelby Harris's Links:https://www.instagram.com/sleepdocshelby/?hl=enhttps://www.drshelbyharris.com/Dr Somi Javaid's Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/somi-javaidhttps://www.drsomi.com/Personalized menopause and sexual health care, longer visits, trusted experts, all from home: https://www.HerMD.com
