Sleep is one of the most critical yet often overlooked components of health, performance, and overall well-being. Poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep can disrupt circadian rhythms, impair glucose metabolism, and alter hunger signals, leading to increased food intake, reduced insulin sensitivity, and other undesirable outcomes. In this episode, we bring together expert discussions from some of the leading researchers in sleep science, to explore what defines high-quality sleep, the mechanisms behind sleep regulation, and the factors that influence sleep-wake cycles, from light exposure to psychological stress.

When healthcare staff approach a hospital room, it's important to know basic things about the patient like their preferred language, whether they're in isolation, or whether they're not supposed to eat (an NPO order). Traditionally, these facts are handled through physical markers or even buried in the patient record. The “digital white board” and “digital door sign” technologies from eVideon display the necessary information automatically where it's clearly visible and provide a look into what the hospital room of the future looks like powered by technology. Amy Bender, Informatics Manager, and Richard Crews, Inpatient Informatics Analyst II, at Tampa General Hospital, describe in this video what it's like to have the digital door sign available in their hospital. Information is often taken directly from their EHR and displayed at the entrance to the room. No longer does a nurse have to take extra time to post a physical marker.

In Episode #38 of the More Than Miles Podcast, physical therapists Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards and Dr. Kacy Seynders interview athlete and sleep researcher, Dr. Amy Bender, and talk all about how sleep quantity and quality can influence performance. Dr. Bender discusses some of the myths and facts surrounding what constitutes good sleep for recovery and why we should care as endurance athletes! She also discusses how to optimize sleep during periods of life in which we may not be able to control our sleep as much, such as when negotiating the time of being a new parent. Dr. Bender talks about the accuracy (or not!) of certain wearable technology such as the Oura ring or Whoop band and how to best use these devices to track sleep. She also talks about some of her research in a controlled sleep lab and some of the exciting innovations that her team is working on! If you have ever wondered about what role sleep plays in your recovery and success as an endurance athlete, we know you will love this episode!
And so we reach the final part of our 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, being uploaded also to this Runchatlive Podcast. My special guest is Dr Amy M Bender, Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, talking about 'In-Home Polysomnography' and sharing the results of my recent five week sleep study using the Cerebra Sleep System. What is In-Home Polysomnography? The most comprehensive form of sleep study currently available requires going to a sleep-lab. However, for many the sleeping environment is unnatural and equipment uncomfortable. A popular alternative is the ‘Home Sleep Apnea Test' (HSAT), which though convenient only measures breathing and respiratory functions, not sleep quality. Enter the ‘Cerebra Sleep System‘ – an in-home, self applied polysomnogram (PSG) that provides the quality diagnostics of an in-lab study with the convenience of Home Sleep Apnea Testing. For those of you who like the nitty gritty, Cerebra Sleep System uses the patented algorithm Odds Ratio Product (ORP) that micro analyses the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal providing a continuous measure of sleep depth, moving beyond conventional scoring methods to dig deeper into brain activity. The Cerebra Sleep System can measure brain waves (EEG), eye movement (EOG), respiratory data, leg and body movements, pulse oximetry, and heart rate (ECG). My Five Week Sleep Study using ‘Cerebra Sleep System' My personal five week sleep study included: Electroencephalography (EEG/brain waves). Electrooculography (EOG/eye movements). Electromyography (EMG/electrical activity of chin muscle). Daily reaction time tests to track performance. Questionnaires on perceived sleep quality, disturbances during the night. Tracking of daily exercise & use of electronics before bedtime. In this podcast episode, topics discussed included: What are the benefits but also limitations of common consumer wearables like Fitbit and Oura ring? How does the Cerebra In-Home Polysomnogram Sleep System differ from the above? How useful is the data regarding the different stages of sleep, e.g. REM, N-REM, Deep Sleep, etc.? How did Matt Phillips find sleeping with the Cerebra headset on? How useful was it being held accountable each day by filling in questionnaires? What was Matt's Sleep Study expecting to find by removing caffeine consumption after week one? A look at the results from Matt's five week Sleep Study including: - General Insights (sleep efficiency, sleep latency, reported sleep quality, and more) - Actual sleep time per night - Amount of waking up after going to sleep - Effect of removing caffeine: evening sleepiness, reaction time, attention lapses Take home messages from the study & Sleep Awareness Month Useful Links Cerebra Health Website Dr Amy Bender Website Dr Amy M Bender on Twitter: @sleep4sport About This Week's Guest Dr. Amy Bender is Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, a digital health company in Canada focused on improving access to advanced digital sleep analysis and diagnostic sleep technology.

To learn more about Dr Bender's research check out these links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dramymbenderTwitter: sleep4sportIG: @sleep4sportHappy Podcast Friday welcome to episode 128: Getting our latest sleep research with Dr. Amy Bender. I am so excited about this topic today because the topic of sleep surfaces almost daily within my membership, client call or regular conversation. I was talking to my aunt the other day and she brought up the interesting fact that there is stigmas around sleep… by the raise of hands how many of you have given someone a hard time for going to bed early OR on the flip side been given a hard time because you were ready to cash it in for the night? Let's just say I come from a family of “not even close to night owls” and going to bed early has always been my thing. Friends in college got used to me just disappearing at the end of the night because it was always easier to just ask for forgiveness in the morning vs asking for permission at night. I knew if I started to tell people that I was heading to bed there would be kick back like one more show or one more drink… so it was just easier to sneak off! Ha. The Peer pressure is real… you get comments like “You're going to bed this early? The night is still young”. “Naps are for babies and sissies”. There are many of us who even feel a lot of pride for the amount of sleep we don't require.. or do we?Many people don't get the recommended amount of sleep whether it is by choice, necessity, or the inability to sleep. Some of them feel just fine and don't believe inadequate or poor sleep affects them while others know they need more sleep but just can't get it. In either case the lack of quality sleep is taking a big toll on their health. Depression, anxiety, and weight problems are just a few of the many areas that can be affected.Today, we pulled in Dr. Amy Bender, MS PhD who brings fifteen years of experience in the sleep field with both clinical and research laboratory experience to her job as Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, a digital sleep analysis company. Dr Bender is an award-winning sleep researcher who has been featured in interviews in both Oprah and Parade magazines. As a consultant, she helps executives, professionals, Olympic athletes and everyday people optimize their sleep and I am thrilled that she is willing to share some of those insights with my Direction Not Perfection community. Before we get started with the interview, I thought it would be beneficial to hear some bullet points of the content provided today. There is so much goodness in this interview today that you might feel a little overwhelmed trying to take it all in… so here are my suggestions. If you are truly seeking as much information as you can possibly gather about sleep, I recommend just listening through and allowing yourself to just take in the interview. Then I would recommend coming back to the interview with pen and paper and writing down the areas that seem to fit your life for your needs. Again, I'll do some summarizing for you and this could be a good outline for the start of your notes! Here we go:Highlights of Dr Bender's talk:-Sleep deprivation is directly related to increased calorie consumption.-Both too much and too little sleep can increase depression and anxiety.-Duration, quality, and timing are 3 factors that affect optimal sleep.- Social jetlag is a term used to describe the sleep issues caused when there is a big difference in when people go to bed during the workweek versus the weekend. -Waking up at a consistent time is important. If you get a poor night's sleep it is better to get up at regular time and add in a nap than to sleep in. - Wake up during the night routine. Don't stay in your bed for more than 20 minutes or so if you are awake. -Use a 4, 7, 8 breathing technique to help relax.-use the cognitive shuffle technique. Think of a word such as bedtime. Think of all the objects that begin with B. When done do words that start with e then d, etc. It takes your mind off of being awake and occupies it gently.-Take a bath or shower-Read a book (non-digital) -Rule of 3 for insomnia. If it takes longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep, if you wake up 3 or more times a night, if it happens 3 days a week, for more than 3 weeks, it is time to get help from a sleep professional. - Light exposure for at least 20 minutes, especially in the morning, is important to set your circadian rhythm. Outside light, even through clouds, is much brighter than indoor light. -Have a good pre-sleep routine. Put away electronics, add in relaxing activities.-Exercise during the day helps with mood disturbances and improves sleep quality. -Don't be ashamed to schedule a nap-Watch caffeine intake-Don't drink alcohol late in the evening. Can you see why this might be important to outline?Direction Not Perfection Resources:www.healthaccountabilitycoach.comwww.facebook.com/houselifestylesIG: @houselifestyles

Everyone is different, but 7 hours seems to be the sweetspot for most. What is quality sleep? Falling asleep in less than 30 minutesWaking up no more than 1 time per night for 20 minutes or lessSleeping 85% or more of your time in bed. Does Sleep Timing Matter? Yes, although people are different. There is no one-size-fits-all formula for when you need to go to sleep. Sleep Supplements? melatonin (0.5mg is a dose similar to what your body makes…more is too much) — good for sleep time shifting. Get a reliable brand to get accurate dosing.magnesium — can help, especially if you don’t get enough in your diettart cherry juice — 1 oz taken an hour before bedtime (also suggested to take in morning)prescription sleep meds are powerful….best if only taken for a short time Sleep Skills? 4-7-8 breathing — breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, breathe out for 8 seconds. repeat 4 timescognitive shuffle – start with a word “bed-time”. start with the first letter “b” and think of as many objects as possible that start with “b”…ball, bat, bear, button, bed, etc., then move to “e”, and continue until you fall asleep.if nothing is working, get out of bedroom, and go do a relaxing activity such as reading in low light until you feel sleepy before returning to bed.20-minute naps to catchup on lost sleep can help taken in the 1-4pm to not be too close to normal sleep time. Set alarm for 30 minutes…try to wake up before alarm.have a sleep routine….get ready for sleep What’s a Sleep Routine? Set a one-hour time before bed to start winding down each nightA warm bath or shower can helpStretching, reading, making a to-do list to clear your mind of things you need to remember Sleep Environment? Dark room: keep the sun out of the room and get the lights out of the room when you sleepQuiet: ear plugs can help, white noise machines or fansCool: find a way to keep the room cool at night; if you warm up during sleep, you will wake upNo phone: noises, tempting distraction Learn more from Dr. Amy Bender below as well as find access to links from topics discussed during our conversation.
