In this episode, we dive into the critical role sleep plays in our health and wellbeing, emphasizing its status as a pillar of lifestyle medicine. We'll explore the recommended sleep duration as advised by the Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society, highlighting the nuances in sleep quality and the variability among individuals.
The discussion takes us through common sleep disturbances, such as insomnia, and addresses underlying issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep apnea. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is underscored as the gold standard treatment. We examine the efficacy of sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive restructuring, along with the significance of relaxation techniques to break the cycle of poor sleep habits.
We also touch on the limitations and risks of pharmacological interventions, stressing the importance of lifestyle changes. Physical activity, stress management, and dietary adjustments are presented as key components for improving sleep quality. Finally, we remind listeners to consult healthcare providers to rule out other medical conditions affecting sleep patterns.
