BetterSleep, the leading sleep and wellness platform, today announced the launch of its Women’s Sleep Course, a first-of-its-kind, seven-day guided audio series developed with board-certified sleep psychologist Dr. Shelby Harris. The program is designed to address how biology, hormones, and life stages uniquely shape women’s sleep.
From menstruation to motherhood to menopause, women’s sleep is in near-constant flux, with nearly 70 percent feeling regularly unrested – yet most guidance remains one-size-fits-all. Women don’t just sleep less, they sleep differently. And for decades, they’ve been given advice that doesn’t reflect that reality.
“Women come to me thinking they’ve failed at sleep,” says Dr. Shelby Harris. “They’ve tried everything from going to bed earlier, cutting caffeine, meditation apps, yet nothing seems to stick. What they’re not being told is that their sleep is being shaped by biology, hormones, and life stages in ways that most advice simply doesn’t account for.”
Across seven guided episodes, The Women’s Sleep Course helps listeners better understand the underlying drivers behind their sleep challenges, from hormonal shifts and motherhood to cognitive overload, perimenopause, and overlooked sleep disorders that are frequently missed in women. The series blends clinical expertise with practical, same-night applications, including mindfulness tools, behavioral sleep strategies, and guidance on when to seek additional support.
Course topics include:
- Day 1: Why Women Sleep Differently
- Day 2: Your Body’s Sleep System
- Day 3: Is It Perimenopause?
- Day 4: Quiet the Noise – Mindfulness
- Day 5: What Else Could Be Going On – Sleep Disorders
- Day 6: Reset Your Sleep Stage – Habits + Bed Association
- Day 7: Where to Go from Here – Next Steps + Getting Help
“This isn’t about perfection or ‘fixing’ sleep overnight,” says Nathalie Walton, General Manager of BetterSleep. “It’s about helping women understand what’s happening in their bodies for the first time – and giving them tools that actually make sense for the way they live.”
The course is designed as an accessible starting point for women who may not have access to specialized sleep care, while also helping listeners better understand when more personalized support may be needed.
