Welcome to Untangle. It's Sleep Week here and I'm thrilled to encore this episode with Dr. Shelby Harris.

Shelby is a clinical psychologist, board certified in behavioral sleep disorders, and is the leading expert in the field of behavioral sleep medicine.

Behavioral sleep medicine is a branch of clinical sleep

medicine and health psychology that focuses on identifying the cognitive and behavioral factors

that contribute to our sleep disorders. Behavioral sleep medicine is a fairly new area of practice

and has been recognized as a subspecialty since 2003. Although commonly

thought of only for insomnia, these treatments encompass many different areas of sleep disorders.

The book we discussed in this episode 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.
