Brain Biohacking with Kayla Barnes — Dr. Wendy Troxel, PhD: Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, Perimenopause Sleep, and the Treatment That Outperforms Every Medication
Sleep is not just something women need more of. It is something women struggle with in ways that are fundamentally different from men and almost nobody explains why.
Dr. Wendy Troxel, PhD is one of the most respected sleep scientists in the world. Her research has shaped sleep policy in the US military. Her book, Sharing the Covers, is one of the most practical and science-backed guides to partnered sleep available.
