Dr. Lynn Keenan is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco Fresno, and the Program Director of the Sleep Medicine Fellowship. She is board-certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine. Her research focuses on the impact of sleep disorders on fertility and pregnancy, as well as physician fatigue. With more than 20 years of experience practicing Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM), Dr. Keenan brings a deep understanding of how sleep affects every stage of a woman’s reproductive lifespan. She emphasizes the critical role of sleep in hormone balance, metabolic health, emotional well-being, and optimal fertility. She often highlights how quality sleep can improve menstrual cycle regularity, support healthy pregnancy outcomes, reduce stress, and strengthen immune function—foundational elements for women’s overall health. A mother of four, Dr. Keenan blends scientific expertise with compassionate, real-world insight, making her a powerful voice on the transformative benefits of sleep for women.
