Description

Women have typically been overlooked when it comes to issues with their sleep. Unfortunately, many women have also been told that poor sleep comes with the territory. Dr. Shelby Harris will focus on common sleep issues women face and will discuss evidenced-based treatment options for these issues and disorders as well as when to refer to a sleep center. She will also provide an introduction to Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia because insomnia is the most common sleep issue women face at various stages in life.
