👩🏻‍⚕️Google Review

-It’s always a great feeling when my patients take time to tell me our work together paid off.

🌟This is what I do my job. I wish I could give this patient and review and describe how tenacious they were in trying to find a solution and never gave up.

💊Sleeping pills

-There are a lot of downsides to taking sleep aids especially long term. One of them is the belief that healthy sleep is feeling sedated, knocked out, or means never having a middle of the night awakening. Not true.

-Let me know if you see this dysfunctional belief about sleep come up.

👩🏻‍⚕️Sleep Medicine Case FileS

-Sleep tracking devices can be invaluable and in this case a CPAP usage tracking chart which closely mirrors the persons sleep immediate shows the diagnosis - one that is difficult to elicit from a patient even after an hour of conversation.

-In this cases it isn’t “data tables” that are helpful but visual representations bringing out patterns. I get excited when I think about sleep trackers becoming better designed to help sleep medicine physicians and less aimed to give false(and sometimes harmful) information about sleep staging.

-As a side note, I am seeing a trend of seeing this diagnosis more commonly possibly because of greater awareness of sleep disorders?!

-Can you make the diagnosis? Let me know in the comments👇

I would love to with but I don’t have one. I have other receipts though.

👩🏻‍⚕️Sharing some of the products I’ve been trying lately. There’s a lot of convo about creatine stores being lower in women and being beneficial for workouts. They jury is still out on the cognitive benefits. I tend to struggle with hyperpigmentation and melasma so that wearing a mineral based tinted sunscreen on my face is key. My derm recommended this as the GOAT. I’m also one of the many people who anecdotally feels my restlessness and sleep is better when taking magnesium glycinate 300-400 mg at bedtime even though there is not evidence to support this claim. Could be the placebo effect.

-Like a lot of traditional MDs I’m skeptical of supplements but as the quality of our food and beverage declines, I do think high quality, tested supplementation has a role.

-Have you tried any of these products?

✨Social Jet lag

-I used to think sleeping in on weekends was the ultimate luxury. But I always felt worse afterward. Turns out, there’s a scientific reason for this! 🤯

-Our bodies have internal clocks called the circadian rhythms. When we sleep in, it leads to desynchrony. It’s like jet lag without even leaving home!

👩🏻‍⚕️Sleep Medicine Case Files

-Some people choose and prefer night shift work for a variety of reasons, including this patient of mine you can see works nights based on their PAP usage. I have a lot of patients like this who feel adapted and driven by different motives including their work being their passion.

🕰️ However, others will struggle adapting to late or rotating shifts. If that’s you, you are not alone. Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) isn’t just fatigue—it’s a recognized circadian rhythm disorder affecting millions.

🔹 💤 What it is: Persistent insomnia and/or daytime sleepiness triggered by working when your body expects rest—typically at night or on rotating schedules.

🔹 📊 How common is it?
• Around 20% of the workforce works non‑standard shifts .
• 10–40% of shift workers meet SWSD criteria .
• A recent meta‑analysis found a 26.5% overall prevalence.
• Clinical guidelines estimate SWSD impacts about 10% of night/rotating shift workers.
• Some field studies report as high as 27–34%—for instance, ~33.7% in healthcare settings .

🔍 Why it matters:
✅ Professional burnout & lower performance
✅ Greater risk of accidents and errors
✅ Physical & mental health hits: depression, ulcers, diabetes, cardiovascular concerns, and even higher divorce rates
⸻
If you can relate, here are tips to support better sleep and well‑being:

• Prioritize sleep hygiene—dark, cool, quiet environment
• Strategic naps + controlled caffeine intake ahead of/ during shifts
• Bright‑light therapy during night shifts + dawn blocking goggles after work
• Try melatonin supplements for daytime sleep (speak with a doc first!)
• Seek schedule stability—forward‑rotating or consistent shift blocks
• Check in with a sleep specialist if symptoms persist
