Dr. Kristine Goins and Dr. Christopher J. Allen discuss the epidemic of sleep deprivation among physicians. Dr. Allen highlights how long shifts, irregular schedules, and cultural expectations in medicine often lead to chronic burnout.

He provides insightful tips, such as maintaining consistent wake times, keeping a sleep log, and prioritizing restorative rest. He also addresses travel-related sleep disruptions and the effects of "sleep debt," explaining that while recovery is possible, it requires consistency and patience. Dr. Allen advocates seeking help for persistent issues and stresses that sleep is fundamental to effective caregiving.
