Synopsis:
Ever wondered why your sleep quality fluctuates or why you're wide awake when others are deep in their dreams? Not all questions about sleep are as simple as: "night owl or early bird?" In this empowering episode, we sat down with Dr. Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor himself, to shed light on the complex world of sleep. We explored how our sleep is affected by continuous sunlight, the role of glucose monitors, and much more.

Diving deeper. Dr. Breus explains how our core body temperature and melatonin intertwine and offers valuable advice on how to optimize your environment for better sleep. We explored the fascinating realm of sleep chronotypes, debunking the misconceptions and revealing what it means to be a bear, wolf, or dolphin sleeper. We also discussed how to stay cool at night without becoming dependent on AC.

Finally, we turned our attention to the serious topic of sleep apnea and unraveled its prevalence, risk factors and treatment options including CPAP, Inspire, and Excite. We wrapped up the conversation discussing how physical activity, from pickleball to swimming, can improve your overall health, sleep, and longevity. Join us to better understand and improve your sleep.

Key Moments
“Memory Foam sleeps hot.”

“You don’t have to run a marathon, but you do have to get off of the couch.”

“With patients who had mild symptoms of age-related memory loss, once we got their apnea fixed, what we thought was dementia and Alzheimer's literally disappeared because they were breathing and getting into these deeper stages of sleep.”
