How to Move Past Your Sleep Problems With Simply Being More Active

The 2023 SLEEP meeting just concluded in Indianapolis where the greatest sleep minds come together and share the amazing academic and scientific projects and research they have been working on. I was on the ground in Indianapolis and wanted to share with you some of the more noteworthy research and data that is came out of the meeting. In this episode we will:

• Look at research related to the subjective impression of sleep quality and how it relates to sleep stages
• Examine how circadian misalignment in kids tends to predict more food consumption even when sleep time is held constant
• Find out how lucid dreaming could be utilized as a potential treatment for nightmare disorder
• Determine how factors related to male college students and sleep might be predictive of other problematic behaviors like alcohol use
• Review associations between sedentary behavior and insomnia severity
• Touch upon the role of sleep hygiene and couple dynamics
• Explore equity and discrimination as a factor leading to poor sleep health and quality
• Answer the questions as to whether or not it is better to athletically train in the afternoon or evening as a young athlete
• Reflect upon what we have learned from the pandemic in terms of sleep, working from home, etc.
• Look ahead toward hybrid models for clinical CBTi delivery and how they may hold the key to improving patient outcomes
