Can't Sleep? It may be impacting your mental health

Can't Sleep? It may be impacting your mental health

This episode of Let’s Talk dives into one of the most important parts of mental health and wellbeing: sleep.

Yvie is joined by Dr Sumedha Verma, a sleep psychologist dedicated to helping people understand and improve their sleep in holistic, person-centred ways.

Sleep problems affect around two-thirds of people in Australia. Sleep isn’t just a biological process – it’s also shaped by social and societal pressures, human connections, and personal experiences.

Dr Verma explains how good sleep strengthens mental and physical health, and supports your relationship with yourself, your body, and your external environment.

She and Yvie also discuss why sleep health is highly personal, and how cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven but often overlooked treatment.

In this episode, you’ll discover why holistic, individualised support for sleep matters so much, especially for people living with mental health, eating, or body image concerns.
