Sleep optimisation for health and performance with Dr Oliver Bernath

Have you ever considered what effect lack of sleep can
have on things other than your mood? 


Did you know that…


Sleep acts like a filter system for your memory?


Sleeps helps you forget unnecessary information to make room for
important information?


children only grow in the first few hours of sleep?


Your ability to gain more muscle is effected by the quality of
your sleep?


This week we speak to Dr Oliver Bernath, the ultimate sleep
specialist!


We have been aware of the importance of sleep for years, making
sure that we go to bed and get up at the same time everyday (or
as often as we can!) 


However, when we met Dr Oliver at a conference in London last
month, we were blown away by his knowledge and how little we
really knew!


Dr Bernath specialities cover: Sleep Disordered Breathing
(Snoring, Sleep Apnoea) Insomnia, Sleep Rhythm disorders
Parasomnias (e.g. Nightmares, Sleepwalking, REM-Sleep Behaviour
Disorder), Restless Legs Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movements in
Sleep, Narcolepsy and Central Hypersomnias, Sleep Optimisation
and Performance.


fter completing his Medical Doctorate thesis in muscle
electrophysiology, Dr Bernath trained as a neurologist at the
University of Chicago and completed fellowships at the University
of California San Francisco in clinical neurophysiology. He
trained in Sleep Medicine in Chicago with Prof Rechtschaffen and
then at the world’s first Sleep Disorders Clinic at Stanford
University with Prof Dement and Prof Guilleminault. He led the
Northern California Sleep Disorders Center at Kaiser Permanente
in San Francisco and now sees patients at the NHS Sleep Clinic in
London.


During this chat, we touch on how complex sleep quality really
is, how we are not all the same and how to apply certain
techniques in order to ensure you are getting the right sleep for
yourself!


We hope you enjoy this and sleep well tonight!


Lots of love,
