Ep 297: Can’t Sleep During Pregnancy or Postpartum? Here’s What Actually Helps with Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialist Dr. Daniella Marchetti
Struggling to sleep during pregnancy or postpartum? You are definitely not alone. And it’s not just about being tired - it’s a chronic condition that deserves attention. Up to 80% of women experience insomnia by the third trimester, and many continue to struggle even two years postpartum. So if you’re having trouble, seek help.
In this episode, I’m joined by clinical psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Daniella Marchetti to break down why sleep can feel so elusive in motherhood and what you can do about it. We’re talking real strategies, the truth about melatonin and Benadryl, and why “sleep when the baby sleeps” just doesn’t cut it. Tune in—this episode might just change your nights.
- What really causes insomnia during pregnancy & how it’s different than just having a tough night
- How long it takes most people to seek help for sleep issues
- How common insomnia is in pregnancy and postpartum
- How sleep slips through the cracks during pregnancy care
- Which sleep disorders are most common during pregnancy
- Why quality rest matters so much
- What CBT-I is (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) — and why it works
- When to seek help for insomnia
- What sleep hygiene means
- Whether or not sleep trackers are actually useful
