E157 - (CME) Wide Awake: An Update on Best Practices for the Treatment and Management of Insomnia
NEI Podcast
The Relationship Between Melatonin and the Aurexin System
A good crunch of melatonin serves two purposes. One is sleep promoting and the other is rhythm setting. By antagonizing these wakefulness-promoting chemicals, you sort of tell the brain, hey, it's time to go to sleep. Remeltion works as an agonist at melatonin receptors.
In this episode, Dr. Andrew Cutler interviews Dr. Karl Doghramji on best practices for the treatment and management of insomnia.
