Poor sleep can worsen arthritis symptoms such as pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and cognitive dysfunction—even when the disease is otherwise well-managed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) Is a Promising Non-Pharmacological Treatment: CBTI is considered the gold standard for treating insomnia without medication. It helps patients reframe negative beliefs about sleep and adopt healthier sleep behaviors, such as limiting screen time in bed and creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine. Internet-based CBTI programs tailored for arthritis patients are currently being piloted.Sleep Challenges Are Deeply Intertwined with Social and Emotional Wellbeing: The podcast highlights how sleep difficulties affect social life, relationships, and self-advocacy. From navigating social pressure to stay up late to managing fatigue while caregiving, the conversation emphasizes the need for greater awareness and support around sleep in the context of chronic illness.Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels (including Rheumer Has It) was created for generalized informational purposes only.

According to the NHS, around 1 in 3 people in the UK are affected by insomnia, and it's particularly common in older adults. Many people turn to medication like benzodiazepines in an attempt to address their insomnia. Now these generally help, at least to begin with, but they tend to bring less restorative sleep. And if no other changes are made to daily habits, there's a good chance the insomnia will return once the medication is stopped. What other options are out there then? So how does one learn to sleep again? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Sleep divorce: is it a good idea to sleep in separately?

Neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer is an expert on sleep – or, more accurately, an expert on why so many can't sleep. He notes that, ironically, it's often anxiety about sleep that prevents good sleep. In short, we lose sleep over lost sleep. Wearables and other tools can help but only to a point, and medications do not induce natural sleep. Instead, he counsels consistent routines, less stimulation at bedtime, and cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce worry about insomnia. Unfortunately, you can't work harder to get better sleep – you have to learn to relax, Zeitzer tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Matt Walker welcomes Dr. Ranji Varghese back to the podcast today to complete the whole sleeping pill story by discussing newer sleeping pills, beyond benzos and Z-drugs. Together, they explore Melatonin receptor agonists (like Ramelteon) that signal sleep preparation, unlike sedating GABAergics. They also detail how DORAs inhibit the wakefulness-promoting orexin, how off-label options (ex. trazodone, low-dose doxepin) affect histamine, the risks and benefits of each.Dr. Varghese goes on to explain the mechanisms and side effect profile for each sleeping pill, including over the counter options. He stresses that all medications carry risk and require careful use, noting that sleeping pills are tools not cures, and that CBTI is preferred for chronic insomnia. Our duo finish up by reminding listeners that open communication with your doctor is vital for safe, short-term medication use.

In episode 598, James and Mike continue to talk with David Gardner about the issue of insomnia. We discuss his latest, very cool, Your Answers When Needing Sleep (YAWNS NB) randomized clinical trial. YAWNS was a pragmatic, open-label, minimum-contact, RCT where people with long-term use of benzodiazepines and current or past insomnia were randomly allocated to different mailed behavior change interventions or no intervention. They found that in people who got the intervention more of them stopped or reduced the dose of their benzodiazepines and more improved their sleep. Tune in for the numbers for this simple intervention.

It's another deprescribing super special on today's GeriPal Podcast, where we delve into the latest research on deprescribing medications prescribed to older adults. Today, we explore four fascinating studies highlighting innovative approaches to reducing medication use and improving patient outcomes. In our first segment, we discuss a study led by Constance Fung and her team, which investigated the use of a masked tapering method combined with augmented cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) to help patients discontinue benzodiazepines. The study involved 188 middle-aged and older adults who had been using medications like lorazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam, temazepam, and zolpidem for insomnia. The results were impressive: 73% of participants in the masked tapering plus augmented CBTI group successfully discontinued their medication, compared to 59% in the open taper plus standard CBTI group. This significant difference highlights the potential of targeting placebo effect mechanisms to enhance deprescribing efforts. Next, we turn to Emily McDonald, the director of the Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network, to discuss her study on the impact of direct-to-consumer educational brochures on gabapentin deprescribing. Patients received brochures detailing the risks of gabapentinoids, nonpharmacologic alternatives, and a proposed deprescribing regimen (see here for the brochure). Additionally, clinicians participated in monthly educational sessions. The intervention group saw a deprescribing rate of 21.1%, compared to 9.9% in the usual care group. This study underscores the power of patient education in promoting safer medication use. In our third segment, we explore Amy Linsky's study that examined the effect of patient-directed educational materials on clinician deprescribing of potentially low-benefit or high-risk medications, such as proton pump inhibitors, high-dose gabapentin, or risky diabetes medications. The intervention involved mailing medication-specific brochures to patients before their primary care appointments (click here for the brochure). The results showed a modest but significant increase in deprescribing rates among the intervention group. This approach demonstrates the potential of simple, low-cost interventions to improve medication safety. Finally, we discuss Michelle Odden's study, which used a target trial emulation approach to investigate the effects of deprescribing antihypertensive medications on cognitive function in nursing home residents. The study included 12,644 residents and found that deprescribing was associated with less cognitive decline, particularly among those with dementia4. These findings and the two studies Michelle mentions in the podcast (DANTE and OPTIMIZE) suggest that carefully reducing medication use in older adults may help preserve cognitive function. However, the DANTON study adds more questions to that conclusion. Join us as we dive deeper into these studies and discuss the implications for clinical practice and patient care. Don't miss this episode if you're interested in the latest advancements in deprescribing research!

Matt dives into the intricate relationship between menopause and sleep disturbances today. He begins by noting that menopause, a natural process for women typically occurring between ages 45 and 55, brings about significant physical and emotional symptoms, with disrupted sleep being one of the most impactful. Exploring the underlying mechanisms of sleep disruption in menopause, our host highlights hormonal changes and hot flashes as primary factors. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, affect neurotransmitters like serotonin, which regulate sleep. Additionally, hot flashes disrupt sleep by causing thermal dysregulation and nighttime awakenings, further exacerbating sleep disturbances.Matt goes on to discuss the various types of sleep impairments associated with menopause, including insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and disruptions in specific sleep stages like REM sleep. He also explores treatment options, emphasizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a potential solution to rebalance hormonal levels and improve sleep quality. However, Matt acknowledges the controversy surrounding HRT and offers insights into alternative approaches, including medication options like sleeping pills and gabapentin, as well as non-drug therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI). Overall, today's episode stresses the importance of recognizing the profound impact of menopause on sleep and the need for comprehensive support and education to address these challenges effectively.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Are sleep troubles keeping you up at night?

In this incredibly enlightening episode of our podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of hosting Dr. Audrey Wells, an exceptional expert in the field of sleep medicine. We dove deep into the complex world of sleep disorders, focusing particularly on insomnia and sleep apnea, and how profoundly they affect our overall health. Dr. Wells has a fascinating journey into medicine; it wasn't your typical straight path to medical school right after undergrad. Her choice to pursue medicine stemmed from a deep-seated desire to contribute significantly to society and challenge herself. Her experiences at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, followed by medical training at prestigious institutions like the University of Michigan Medical School and Washington University, have profoundly shaped her expertise in sleep medicine. During our conversation, we discussed the widespread nature of sleep disorders and the critical importance of understanding each patient's unique sleep experience. Dr. Wells emphasized how vital sleep quantity, quality, and timing are for optimal health. She also shed light on the cultural issue of sleep deprivation and our society's tendency to neglect sleep in the relentless pursuit of productivity. We tackled the challenges of insomnia, discussing the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) as a primary treatment. Dr. Wells shared her approach to helping patients navigate their sleep issues, focusing on both the emotional and psychological aspects of sleep and the importance of addressing insomnia's root causes. Our discussion also covered the use of melatonin and other over-the-counter sleep aids. Dr. Wells talked about the potential risks and stressed the importance of caution with supplementation. She provided valuable insights into prescribed sleep medications, their proper use, and the necessity of having an exit strategy to prevent long-term dependency. A significant part of our chat was dedicated to discussing the impact of menopause on sleep. Dr. Wells shared her personal experiences with menopause and stressed the importance of treatment for symptoms like hot flashes that can disrupt sleep. We also explored the potential benefits of hormone therapy during menopause and emphasized the need for more conversations around women's health in the context of sleep medicine. Finally, Dr. Wells gave us a sneak peek into her upcoming virtual summit, "Sleep Deep: New Approaches at Beating Sleep Apnea and Insomnia." This event promises to offer practical, actionable, and evidence-based strategies to improve sleep, featuring a variety of expert perspectives. To sum up, this episode was a treasure trove of information about sleep disorders, the importance of personalized treatment, and the deep connection between sleep and overall well-being. Dr. Wells' expertise and personal insights made for an incredibly informative and engaging conversation that's sure to benefit anyone looking to enhance their sleep and, in turn, their health.
