Show Notes
Today Jay Rodney, sleep specialist, and I sit down and cover part I of a 3 part series on sleep.
Jay has an abundance of knowledge about sleep working in healthcare, specifically the sleep lab, and was gracious enough to sit down with for for 2.5 hours on a summer, Friday evening to talk sleep.
In part I, Jay and I cover topics such as athletic performance, sleep apnea, blood pressure, alcohol, sedation vs sleep, melatonin use, and much much more.
You are bound to take a few nuggets of information from this episode.
If you are curious about your own sleep quality, check out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for some self-assessment.
Part II will cover sleeping in the outdoors. Be sure to check that one out in two weeks!
