BETTER SLEEP,
BETTER LIFE.

Women are two to three times more likely to develop sleep apnea, a condition once thought to affect mainly men. What’s more, women often have subtler signs - such as insomnia, headaches, or nighttime awakenings - so it’s easier for both patients and doctors to miss. When insomnia and sleep apnea occur together (a combination called COMISA), health risks increase, but so do opportunities for effective treatment.

I sometimes see a surge of clients around this time of year who are suddenly struggling with falling or staying asleep, even if they’ve never had sleep is. While high temperatures certainly impact our body’s ability to cool down for sleep, it’s often how we respond to poor sleep that keeps us stuck. Let’s explore how CBT-I approaches summer insomnia - not just with tips to stay cool, but with mindset shifts and sustainable strategies that help regulate your sleep long-term.
