2024-03-2242 minTalking SleepNeurotransmitters, insomnia pharmacotherapy and mental healthWe know that CBT-I is the gold standard treatment for insomnia, but it remains inaccessible for many due to cost or the limited availability of trained professionals. For patients with comorbid mental health disorders, insomnia treatment may improve their sleep and mental health, but sleep restriction therapy may not be the most appropriate modality. Dr. Chris Bojrab is a psychiatrist who has embraced sleep care as a vehicle to improve the mental health of his patients, and he has expertise in neurotransmitters. He discusses pharmacologic treatment of insomnia and some important considerations in those with mental health disorders.
2024-03-0855 minTalking SleepSleep, OSA and sickle cell diseaseWhile sleep disorders are associated with numerous health complications, one area that doesn’t receive much attention is the impact of sleep and sleep disorders on those with sickle cell anemia. A study published in Sleep and Breathing found that children with sickle cell disease and comorbid obstructive sleep apnea had 47% more health complications than those with sickle cell disease who had a lower risk for OSA due to negative OSA screenings or exams. These complications seemed to be related to nocturnal hypoxia. Pain from a sickle crisis also can lead to sleep fragmentation. Dr. Sonal Malhotra discusses the ma...
2024-02-2334 minTalking SleepA Practical Approach to Treating RLSJohns Hopkins colleagues Dr. Rachel Salas and Dr. Sara Benjamin discuss the basics of treating restless legs syndrome (RLS), focusing on an updated algorithm published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings in 2021 by the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board of the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation. Topics of discussion include pharmacological treatment options, the risk of augmentation, potential impulsivity, and non-pharmacologic treatments.
2024-02-0947 minTalking SleepSleep and Alzheimer’s diseaseWe routinely see patients with dementia in our sleep clinics but often do not meet them until they present with a sleep complaint such as insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea. We know that sleep and dementia have a bidirectional relationship. Is there a way to identify those who are at higher risk of dementia and intervene earlier? Is there a polysomnographic fingerprint? Should polysomnography be performed in those who are felt to be at higher risk of dementia? How can we, as sleep clinicians, potentially impact the course of dementia? Are there special considerations for our patients who have...

2024-01-201h 36Talking SleepSleep as an Opportunity to Improve Maternal MortalityWe wanted to start the new year by examining that time in our lives when we welcome new lives into this world. We often think about pregnancy as a joyful time.
But, for too many women in the US, pregnancy leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Our US maternal mortality rate increased from 20.1 per 100,000 live births in 2019 to 32.9 per 100,000 live births in 2021. For black women, this was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births. The causes are severe bleeding, infections, and preeclampsia/eclampsia. The CDC indicates that 4/5 pregnancy-related deaths in the US are preventable. Dr. Ghada Bourjeily is here to...
2024-01-1247 minTalking SleepKeeping Up with the Changes to the Scoring ManualThe AASM released an update to the scoring manual earlier this year. Some of the changes were minor and others more significant. Adhering to the AASM scoring manual is a mandate of accreditation.
Dr. Matt Troester, Dr. Alcibiades Rodriguez and Dr. Rich Berry are here to review these changes and highlight the most clinically pertinent information from the latest iteration of the scoring manual version 3.
2023-12-1532 minTalking SleepSleep and ADHD in AdolescentsWe have seen data associating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with sleep disorders, and many experts believe that a sleep assessment should be performed routinely in these patients. Is it all about insufficient sleep and sleep patterns? Or are there polysomnographic differences that may identify those who are at risk for ADHD? Can poor sleep in early childhood predict a diagnosis of ADHD in adolescence? Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery shares her research in this field and helps us understand the relationship between childhood sleep and adolescent ADHD.
2023-12-0134 minTalking SleepMedications To Manage Central Disorders Of HypersomnolenceIn the last few years, more medications have been available to treat central disorders of hypersomnolence. While treatments for narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia are similar, there are some specific considerations when trying to determine which combination of medications is most appropriate for a patient. Significant payor coverage and formulary variability add another layer to this conversation. Some are considered off-label and others are on-label but may be cost-prohibitive. Dr. Hrayr Attarian explains some of the nuances of these newer medications, how they perform for specific symptoms, and how to consider tailoring medication regimens with shared decision-making.
2023-11-1737 minTalking SleepLegal Issues in a Sleep Medicine PracticeDrowsy driving accidents are just one of the many ways in which health care can interface with the legal system.

2023-11-0346 minTalking SleepMedications to Treat Obstructive Sleep ApneaWe have long known that CPAP therapy isn’t meant for everyone who has obstructive sleep apnea. There are plenty of non-PAP treatment options, including oral appliance therapy and hypoglossal nerve stimulation. Pharmacotherapy has been used as an adjunct therapy to treat persistent hypersomnolence despite well-treated OSA or to assist with PAP acclimatization. Now medications are being developed to treat OSA and its underlying obstruction. Here to help us understand more about these medications is Dr. Sanjay Patel.
2023-10-2033 minTalking SleepManagement of Obesity Hypoventilation SyndromeObesity hypoventilation syndrome can be challenging to manage. Obtaining the appropriate device for each patient is often complicated by insurance requirements and endless red tape. Previous guidelines have indicated that CPAP may be as effective as bi-level PAP; however, this doesn’t apply to all patients. How can we identify patients who may require more advanced treatment modalities while also ensuring that those treatments do not cause undue financial burden for them? Here to help us understand this better is Dr. Babak Mokhlesi.
2023-10-0647 minTalking SleepInsufficient Sleep, Circadian Disruption and Cardiometabolic HealthWe frequently discuss how insufficient sleep may be harmful to cardiometabolic health, but is this the whole story? How does circadian rhythm misalignment contribute to this relationship? Could a behavioral sleep intervention possibly improve cardiometabolic health? Dr. Chris Depner investigates how insufficient sleep and circadian disruption contribute to the risk of metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. His long-term goal is to develop sleep and circadian-based interventions that improve metabolic health. He is here to help us better understand the relationship between insufficient sleep, circadian disruption, and cardiometabolic health.
2023-09-2237 minTalking SleepDREAM-IT: Insomnia Management in AdolescentsAs students go back to school, many adolescents will have to advance their sleep phase in order to start classes early in the morning. While delayed sleep phase syndrome is common during adolescence, insomnia symptomatology may be underrecognized. It may be attributed to excessive screen time, social jet lag, or too much caffeine. We try to provide education around proper sleep hygiene techniques and often deploy cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which was developed for adults. Are there other special considerations for adolescents? Does it make sense to utilize CBT-I in this age group? Is it appropriate to utilize sleep...
2023-09-0836 minTalking SleepObesity Management for Sleep CliniciansWe have long known that obesity is a risk factor for OSA, but most sleep clinicians don’t manage obesity. Is this something we should consider? How complicated is it? How should we navigate insurance hurdles? Do we need to employ a dietician? Is managing obesity feasible for a typical sleep medicine practice? Here to explore this further on today's episode of Talking Sleep is Dr. Rafael Sepulveda.
2023-08-2542 minTalking SleepEmbracing Alternative Practice ModelsThe practice of sleep medicine is extremely diverse. While there are many who are a part of academic institutions, others have chosen private practice. One option that is becoming more popular is a direct-to-consumer, self-pay model. Here to give us a better understanding of some of these practice models are Dr. Sahil Chopra and Dr. Andy Berkowski.
2023-08-1146 minTalking SleepNavigating the Ethics of Disclosure in RBDIn this episode of Talking Sleep our guest, Dr. Alon Avidan, helps us better understand the ethics of disclosure in REM sleep behavior disorder. A big part of this disorder's overall management includes disclosing potential neurodegenerative sequelae. While prescribing medications can be fairly straightforward, the discussion of a potentially life-altering diagnosis is more nuanced. It requires not only the explanation of Lewy Body dementia or Parkinson’s but also the ability to assess what a patient needs to hear and when it is appropriate to disclose this information.
2023-07-2844 minTalking SleepSleepHouse Rock: How a CPT Code is MadeAs sleep technology continues to advance, we are sometimes left to try to figure out which billing code to use. There are level 2 studies that have a g-code and some novel HSAT devices that are creating new metrics that don’t always fit into a current CPT code. Navigating this can be tricky. Here to help us understand how a CPT code is made is Dr. Vikas Jain.
2023-07-1448 minTalking SleepBringing Sleep to the Neighborhood- The Mobile Sleep Lab ModelA few years ago, the AASM held a competition challenging us to reimagine sleep care. The Mobile Sleep Lab was a model that was submitted as a contender in this challenge. Here to tell us more about this are Dr. Mark Boulos, Dr. Luqi Chi and Dr. Oleg Chernyshev.

We will focus on the scientific basis and clinical implications of this new signal.
2023-06-1628 minTalking SleepPredicting HGNS Treatment SuccessIn today’s episode of Talking Sleep, Dr. Raj Dedhia joins us to talk about hypoglossal nerve stimulation, which was first approved by the FDA in 2014 to treat a subset of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Now, nearly a decade later, the treatment has evolved, and we have a better understanding of its nuances. Visualizing the airway during sleep endoscopy is a key element in patient selection; however, Dr. Dedhia explains that there are other ways to predict treatment success.
2023-05-1937 minTalking SleepThe Nose and OSA: Why the Nose Always Seems to KnowObstructive sleep apnea is regularly linked to the posterior oropharynx and the tongue, but its relationship with the nose is often overlooked. Recent research suggests that the assessment of the nose plays an important role in the physiology of sleep. Nasal obstruction is common in sleep apnea and contributes greatly to the development of OSA. Here to talk to us about the role of the nose in OSA is Dr. Jolie Chang.
2023-05-0532 minTalking SleepThe Microbiome and Sleep Apnea– A Bidirectional RelationshipRecent evidence and data has highlighted important associations between obstructive sleep apnea and the microbiome. Here to help us learn more about how sleep and the gut microbiome impact our heath is Dr. Andrew Goldberg.
2023-04-2131 minTalking SleepClinical Considerations for Novel Sleep TechnologyThe sleep field is intertwined with technological advances. Innovative devices are being developed every day, some of which are crossing over into the clinical realm. In this episode of Talking Sleep, Dr. Scott Ryals and Dr. Steven Holfinger describe how some novel home sleep apnea test devices work and explain how clinicians should approach them.
2023-03-2442 minTalking SleepPermanent Standard Time AdvocacyIt's that time of year again when we spring forward and set our clocks ahead one hour. Whether we should continue to change our clocks twice per year is an ongoing topic of debate, and legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to make daylight saving time permanent. Here to give more insight on the science of clock change and discuss the debate over daylight saving time and standard time is Dr. Karin Johnson.
2023-03-1020 minTalking SleepComorbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnea (COMISA)An article was published in the ERJ demonstrating that CBT for Insomnia reduced the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. Our guest, Dr. Alexander Sweetman, is here to tell us more.

As the interest in sleep grows, more attention is being paid to how sleep is related to morbidity and mortality. While there is much discussion about obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular health, the EEG may also hold clues about our future health.
2023-01-1345 minTalking SleepCollege, Transgender Students and SleepIn today’s episode of Talking Sleep, we discuss how insufficient sleep and other factors are negatively impacting college students’ health. Our guest, Dr. Shelley Hershner, is an associate professor of neurology at the University of Michigan. Through her research, she has found that there are certain populations of students, such as transgender students, who may be at higher risk of sleep disorders. She is here today to help us understand the significance of this issue and how we can better serve our college students.
