Dr. Shelby Harris’ 5 Key Takeaways:Establish a Sleep Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up within a consistent 1.5-hour window each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.Prepare for Rest: Just as many women embrace evening rituals like skincare, preparing for sleep is a crucial step in combating insomnia. Indulge in a warm bath approximately two hours before your intended bedtime. This allows your body temperature to drop naturally, signaling that it's time to sleep.Mind Your Intake: Be mindful of your consumption of alcohol and caffeine. It's best to avoid them within 3 to 8 hours of bedtime to prevent interference with your sleep quality.Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Transform your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary by keeping it cool, ideally in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, and ensuring it is as dark as possible.Focus on Feeling, Not Just Numbers: If you're tracking your sleep, pay more attention to how rested and functional you feel during the day rather than fixating solely on the data. Remember, the effort to sleep is often counterproductive; allow rest to come naturally.In This Episode: (00:00) Introduction(03:05) Explaining the behavioral sleep medicine specialty(08:16) Insomnia vs. normal sleep disturbances(11:14) Treating female insomnia without medication(27:18) When to prescribe medications and which ones(36:44) Sleep needs across different age groups(49:45) Sleep challenges during pregnancy and postpartum(54:38) Perimenopause: A perfect storm for sleep(1:02:16) Non-negotiables for better sleep habitsRESOURCES:Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults - NIH Study GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Shelby Harris is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in White Plains, New York who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine (BSM), working to improve the sleep of everyone from babies through older adults using evidence-based methods.She is also a specialist in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults.

    Kim's Tips For Managing Psoriasis:

    1. Topical Treatments: Use steroid creams, either over-the-counter non-fluorinated or prescribed fluorinated steroids for more severe cases. Apply creams and consider saran wrapping affected areas overnight to enhance absorption and effectiveness.


    1. Light Therapy: Utilize ultraviolet light therapy. Consider home-based treatments like red light therapy, which may help manage symptoms.


    1. Systemic Medications: For more severe cases, consult with a healthcare provider about systemic treatments like biologics or immune suppressive drugs. Complete necessary medical tests before starting immune suppressive medications (e.g., testing for tuberculosis, hepatitis, and chest X-rays).


    1. Lifestyle Approaches: Stress can lead to psoriasis breakouts, so finding effective ways to manage it is crucial. Incorporate stress management techniques like yoga or meditation. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet and avoid known personal triggers, which may include certain foods or stressors.


    1. Regular Consultation and Monitoring: Regularly see a board-certified dermatologist for ongoing management and adjustments to your treatment plan. If joint pain or other systemic symptoms occur, get referrals to appropriate specialists such as rheumatologists.
