My passion is extending access to sleep education and the best available treatments, including to CBTI. I’ve written “Sleep Through Insomnia” (@amazon) and created an online CBTI course. Check it out! InsomniaSolved.com #sleep #insomnia #CBTI #InsomniaSolved #sleeppeeps

REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) may be one of the earliest signals of Parkinson’s and related disorders. People with RBD physically act out their dreams, often years before other symptoms appear. We are building a program to detect this risk earlier: rbdprogram.com

In college, 25 years ago, I spent a summer working in a sleep clinic to gain experience as I applied to medical school and realized my father has sleep apnea. I saw how the treatment transformed his life. It inspired me to dedicate my career to the field. #MySleepStory

I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen any of the highest profile sleep influencers at any national sleep meetings. Strange.

Congratulations to Stanford Medicine sleep researcher, Emmanuel Mignot, MD, PhD, on receiving this year’s Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, one of the most prestigious science prizes in the world. He discovered that narcolepsy stems from a deficiency of orexin in the brain, opening the door to new sleep therapies. stan.md/4xGWHkT #LaskerAward
