TOP TEN || Sleep news picks this week — newest to oldest — Curator's Choice
1. MAR 15 || THE GLOBE AND MAIL
Marijuana’s effect on sleeping still unclear
Cannabis
From the curator: We need way more research before anyone can make any claims about pot helping sleep. Anyone pushing the pro-cannabis/sleep connection does not have enough evidence to back up their claims. Period.
2. MAR 15 || SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
Study Finds "Seasonal Affective Disorder" Doesn't Exist
From the curator: It's not that the study says the symptoms and episodes aren't real, but the way this depressive condition has been defined has been inconsistent and vague at best. They need to find a better way to objectively identify SAD so it can be treated safely and effectively.
3. MAR 14 || SLEEP REVIEW
From the curator: Treat your sleep apnea if you have cancer; your cells will thank you later.
Impact of Sleep Telemedicine Protocol in Management of Sleep Apnea: A 5-Year VA Experience (abstract)
From the curator: Some interesting information here about how to reach more patients using telemedicine. This could really bring good sleep health services to people who live away from cities or are otherwise limited when it comes to travel.
5. MAR 14 || WJHL.com
Public TDOT records reveal snow plow drivers worked 60 to 80 hours with limited sleep
From the curator: I hope y'all park your cars in the garage... that's all I'm sayin'...
6. MAR 13 || ARAB NEWS
80% of doctors fail sleep medicine tests
From the curator: Probably true for US doctors as well. Many only receive 1-2 hours of training in sleep health in medical school. That is shameful, since diet, exercise, and sleep are considered the Three Pillars of Health.
7. MAR 13 || DAILY MAIL
Half of mothers LIE about sharing a bed with their babies for fear of being judged, says parenting expert
Parenting
From the curator: This is so unfortunate. Sometimes in our zeal to educate and raise awareness, we drive away the people we want to help the most. More evidence we need to make compassion the driving force behind what we do.
8. MAR 13 || YAHOO!
The best time of day to drink coffee is probably not when you’re actually drinking coffee
From the curator: Can't say you weren't warned.
9. MAR 12 || WREX
Local man discovers he has sleep disorder during routine surgery prep
From the curator: If you are overweight and have a thicker-than-usual neck (16 inches for women; 17 inches for men), you should probably be checked for sleep apnea before going under anesthesia.
10. MAR 11 || PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
The Social and Behavioral Costs of Sleeplessness
From the curator: Insomnia and sleep deprivation can ruin relationships and lead to some seriously bad behavioral patterns.
