We know rest is important—but what if your sleep struggles aren’t just about self-care? What if they’re a medical issue being overlooked? In this episode of Unruly, Shelah Marie sits down with Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell, a board-certified physician and certified sleep specialist, to explore the science behind sleep—and why Black women are so often misdiagnosed, dismissed, or left exhausted by a system that doesn’t see our full picture. This isn’t just about winding down—it’s about understanding your body, your hormones, your nervous system, and your right to real rest.
