In this solo episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa opens the 2026 season by exploring one of the most overlooked disruptors of fertility: sleep. She explains why it’s not just the number of hours you rest, but the timing and quality of sleep that signal the body when it’s safe to repair, ovulate, and sustain a pregnancy.

Dr. Famuyiwa breaks down how chronic sleep deprivation and circadian disruption—common among shift workers and high-achieving professionals—can quietly interfere with hormones, ovulation, progesterone production, and metabolic health, sometimes even mimicking PCOS. This episode is a powerful reminder that fertility doesn’t reward endurance—it responds to restoration, alignment, and rest.
