Sleep affects every aspect of our health, but women are getting the short end of the (melatonin) stick. From puberty to pregnancy to hot flashes, a woman’s sleep is disrupted more often, more deeply, and for more reasons than most realise.

This isn’t just about “being tired.” Sleep loss in women is tied to burnout, anxiety, memory issues, poor metabolic health, and significant relationship stress. And yet, for decades, sleep research focused almost entirely on men. We’re changing that.

This event brings together a powerhouse panel of health professionals and sleep experts to unpack what’s happening across the female life span — and what we can do about it.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn more about how sleep impacts women's health and well-being at every stage of life. See you there!

Panelists:

Dr Sumit Samant – Upper Airway Surgeon & Founder, Auckland Sleep. An expert in snoring and sleep apnoea, Sumit leads a multidisciplinary team focused on improving how sleep disorders are diagnosed and treated.

Anitha Patel - Insomnia Specialist and Clinical Lead at Auckland Sleep, with a background in ENT surgery and a special interest in women’s sleep health, insomnia, and complex sleep disorders.

Kim Corley – Infant & Child Sleep ConsultantFounder of Cherished Sleep, Kim helps families navigate infant and child sleep challenges using gentle, proven strategies.

Clare Michelsen – Clinical Nutritionist & Personal TrainerFounder of Healthy by Clare, she helps women fuel their bodies, manage energy, and build sustainable health through food and movement.
