Dr. Chris Winter is a neurologist, sleep specialist, and author of the book "The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken And How To Fix It." And recently, Dr. Winter launched his excellent podcast "Sleep Unplugged," Dr. Winter discusses topics about sleep that people often believe but aren't true—including a perceived “inability to sleep.” Dr. Winter also explains the benefits of having an accountability partner on your journey toward improved sleep and why patients must be 100% willing to discuss their sleep issues openly with their sleep doctor or specialist. If you're unsure what your symptoms are or think you might have a sleep disorder, it's essential to get tested by a sleep professional. Listen now as we talk about how to get a better night's rest and bust some myths about sleep.
