There's no doubt about it: women have a different psychology around sleep. From different social and cultural conditioning, to career ambitions, to acting like the CEO of the home, there is more of a cognitive and emotional burden for women. And this affects both the timing of their sleep, as well as their sleep quality AND quantity.

So in this video, sleep expert Dr. Audrey Wells explains some of the unique sleep problems facing women -- including the stories she hears from women in her practice -- and offers some practical tips for getting better sleep each night.

🩺 Dr. Audrey Wells is triple board-certified in pediatrics, sleep, and obesity medicine. She helps sleep apnea patients struggling with CPAP therapy get the help and relief they need.
