Ep. 92 - Sleep Quality, Brain Health, and Women’s Hidden Sleep Struggles (Ft. Dr. Barry Krakow, Sleep Expert)
When was the last time you woke up truly refreshed?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Barry Krakow, a leading sleep expert, to uncover what most doctors (and patients) miss about sleep. We go beyond “get your 8 hours” and dive into what quality sleep really means — and why ignoring it can damage your brain, hormones, and long-term health.
Dr. Krakow shares fascinating insights on:
Why sleep quality is more important than sleep quantity
How the glymphatic system “cleans” your brain at night
Why needing caffeine to feel normal is a red flag
The hidden link between nocturia (nighttime bathroom trips) and sleep disorders
How women’s sleep struggles — from perimenopause to pregnancy — are often dismissed or misdiagnosed
Why CPAP isn’t the only option, and what alternatives may be more effective
If you’ve ever been told “your sleep study looks fine” while still feeling exhausted, this conversation will be eye-opening.
