Busting Common Sleep Myths with Jade Wu

For #sleepawarenessweek (March 12-18, 2023), Sleep Review is joined by sleep psychologist Jade Wu, PhD, DBSM. She is the author of Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications. She is also a Mattress Firm Sleep Advisor. Sleep Review’s Sree Roy and Dr. Wu discuss common #sleep myths including:

-What is the most damaging sleep myth you have heard?
-What is one sleep myth that you previously believed, but was disproven over your career?
-Have you seen other sleep physicians perpetuate certain sleep myths?
-Do those who move around in their sleep get worse rest?
-Does the brain truly “shut off” when we go to sleep?
-Do dreams only occur during REM sleep?
-Do scents, such as lavender essential oil in a diffuser, benefit sleep in any way?
-Do eye masks and/or earplugs benefit sleep?
-Is over-the-counter melatonin a good place to start if you’re having sleep problems?
