The Importance of Sleep in Postpartum: Why It Matters and How to Improve It

Candice Wood Episode 4

Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re diving into one of the biggest challenges of motherhood: sleep. It’s something we all struggle with during pregnancy and postpartum, yet it’s crucial for our mental and physical health. I’ve experienced it myself, and my patients’ stories echo the same struggles—nights filled with worry and exhaustion that leave us running on empty.

In this episode, I’ll share why sleep is so vital and how lack of it contributes to postpartum depression and the difficulties of transitioning into motherhood. From navigating anxiety to feeling overwhelmed, we’ll unpack why rest is often elusive and explore practical solutions. I’ll share tips for improving sleep during pregnancy and postpartum, breaking the cycle of sleeplessness, and establishing routines that help you reclaim your rest.
