Dr. Valerie Cacho (@drvalsleepgal) joins me for another countdown of the Top 10 Sleep Threats, and her list asks a question we should all be asking more often: Have we actually figured out what is disrupting someone’s sleep? From peptides marketed as cures to the assumption that a woman’s fatigue is simply part of being a working mom, Valerie takes aim at the shortcuts that can delay an accurate diagnosis. In this episode we will:
Examine what the research does—and does not—say about peptides for insomnia and hypersomnia
Discuss why morning sunlight and sleep hygiene are not complete treatments for chronic insomnia
Explore how BMI, menopause, and the absence of daytime sleepiness can lead clinicians to overlook sleep apnea
Talk about why sleep health deserves attention now, rather than after retirement
