  • Veterans

    The most recent podcast on sleep disorders in military veterans was probably the most informative and helpful episode I’ve listened to (and I have listened to all of them).

  • Valuable for PAs in sleep

    I have enjoyed this podcast from the beginning. It provides timely updates related to sleep health and as a clinician in sleep for over a decade, I find it an important part of where I get updated work related info. I have recommended it to all the PAs and NPs who work with me in sleep.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: Are there any FDA-approved hypnotics for children?
No, there are no FDA-approved hypnotics for use in children; most agents used are off-label and require pediatric sleep specialist oversight.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: What is the current stance on melatonin dosing for kids?
Start with a small dose (0.5 mg) about an hour before bedtime, and avoid increasing the dose if sleep does not improve after trying 5 mg, since higher doses may not provide additional benefit and can raise safety concerns.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: What is the first-line therapy for pediatric sleep apnea if surgery isn't immediately indicated?
PAP therapy is the first-line treatment after considering surgical options, with close follow-up to ensure adherence and to address insurance coverage and family dynamics.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: Is home sleep apnea testing routinely recommended for children, like in adults?
Not typically; HSAT is not the gold standard for pediatric testing, is generally used only in select cases, and many centers still rely on in-lab testing or other pediatric-guided approaches.
Daylight Saving Time: Advocating for Sleep Medicine
Q: So can you give us a quick review of what the AASM has to say about time change?
The AASM supports permanent standard time as the best way to end time changes, rather than permanent daylight saving time or maintaining the current system, due to better alignment with the sun and healthier circadian rhythms.
