About the author
Lopez Marta is a health and medical writer with over fifteen years of experience translating complex scientific research into practical, accessible guidance for general readers. Her work focuses on the intersection of behavioral psychology, sleep medicine, and lifestyle interventions for chronic health conditions.
Marta's approach to health writing grew out of her own experience with chronic insomnia, which she navigated without medication after discovering the CBT-I research during a difficult period of sleeplessness that lasted nearly two years. That personal journey sparked a deep professional interest in the science of sleep and the behavioral approaches that offer lasting relief. She spent the following decade studying the research literature, interviewing leading sleep scientists and clinicians, and testing the techniques she now teaches.
Her writing has appeared in health and wellness outlets including Psychology Today, The Atlantic's Health section, and Harvard Health Publishing. She has contributed to patient education materials for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and served as a content consultant for digital health programs focused on insomnia treatment.
Marta holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Science in Health Communication from Boston University. She completed additional coursework in behavioral sleep medicine through the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine's professional training program.
She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her partner and two dogs. In her free time, she is an avid trail runner and a mediocre but enthusiastic gardener. She continues to study sleep research as an active member of the Sleep Research Society and the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.
Sleep Reclaimed represents her belief that the most powerful tools for health are often the simplest and that reclaiming restful sleep is possible for anyone willing to make small, consistent changes.
