Learn the secrets behind optimizing your sleep
Some people turn to sleep medications for comfort, but the hidden gem lies in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia—a revered pathway to peaceful nights. Understanding the subtle difference between fatigue and sleepiness is essential, as it guides us toward personalized treatment. Among the many online sleep advice, we must be careful as some tips may not meet our specific sleep needs.
Dr. Shane Creado is a board-certified psychiatrist and sleep medicine physician. He challenges common misconceptions about sleep hygiene and provides evidence-based insights on optimizing sleep for academic performance and mental health.
Key takeaways:
Sleep medications should be a last resort for treating insomnia, with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia being the gold standard treatment.
There is a difference between fatigue and sleepiness; understanding this distinction can lead to better treatment.
Many sleep hygiene tips found online must be more accurate or generalized, and individual sleep needs can vary.
Sleep deprivation can significantly impact academic performance, leading to memory and learning difficulties.
