with @SleepDrChris: Does the Viral Sleepy Girl Mocktail Actually Work? And More!

Dr. Fran sits down with Dr. Christopher Allen — pediatric neurologist, sleep medicine specialist, and creator behind "Sleep Doctor Chris" — for a deep dive into everything we get wrong about sleep. From debunking the idea that snoring is "just sleeping deep" to explaining why sleep studies aren't as scary as they sound, Dr. Allen breaks down the science of rest in plain, practical terms.

They cover:

• What actually happens during a sleep study (in-lab and at-home versions)
• Why obstructive sleep apnea is so often mistaken for anxiety or depression — and how treating it can mean coming off medication entirely
• Why women are chronically underdiagnosed with sleep apnea, and the questions doctors should be asking
• The truth about melatonin: the right dose, the right timing, and why more isn't better

Whether you're a chronic snorer, a new parent, a night shift worker, or just someone who doom-scrolls in bed, this episode is packed with real, actionable advice to help you finally get the sleep you deserve.
