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.”
