Join Matt today as he explores the fascinating intersection of sleep, metabolism, and weight management, delving into the science of dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs). This episode dissects a groundbreaking study on suvorexant (Belsomra), an FDA-approved insomnia medication, and its potential to enhance fat burning during sleep. Matt unpacks the role of orexin, a neuropeptide crucial for wakefulness, and explains how DORAs work by targeting orexin receptors to promote natural sleep. This preliminary research, conducted on healthy young men, reveals suvorexant's intriguing ability to not only improve sleep quality, but also increase fat oxidation while preserving muscle mass. While these initial findings are promising, Matt emphasizes the importance of cautious optimism and the need for further research in more diverse groups. He explores the implications for weight management and metabolic health, highlighting the potential of suvorexant as a novel approach to weight loss. However, Matt underscores that a holistic approach, including diet, exercise, and good sleep hygiene, remains essential for long-term success. Tune in today to gain valuable insights into the complex relationship between sleep and metabolism, and how scientific advancements may pave the way for innovative solutions in weight management.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?

A Ukrainian native living in Clare believes the Taoiseach should be doing more to bring the war in her country to an end. It follows comments this week from Leo Varadkar, who's said Ireland needs to 'slow the flow of refugees and Asylum Seekers' arriving in the country. Since the Russian invasion in February of last year, 4,947 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Clare, the sixth highest total per head of population in the country. Coupled with this, at the end of October, the county was also hosting around 850 International Protection Applicants across Ennis, Tulla, Meelick, Inch, Lisdoonvarna and Scariff. Comments from the Taoiseach this week suggests change is afoot though. According to Leo Varadkar, Ireland needs to slow the flow of refugees and ensure the supports offered here are aligned with other countries. However Ennis resident Mariya Nikashanova, who's originally from Irpin, believes the Taoiseach could eliminate the problem at the source, by exerting his influence on the international stage, and ensuring sanctions on Russia are effective in bringing the conflict to an end. Currently, all Ukrainian arrivals to Ireland are entitled to standard social protection supports, such as the maximum jobseeker's allowance payment of €230 per week. This compares to a monthly citizens income of €510 per month in Germany, while in Italy, after 90 days, refugees are expected to source their own accommodation. A MidWest Refugee Support Centre believes, however, that Ireland's focus should be on delivering medium term accommodation, rather than deterring an influx of future arrivals. John Lannon from Doras says strategic local taskforces need to be formed to ensure any changes to current policy do not compound the homeless crisis.

Symptoms during the day may include fatigue, irritability, impaired focus, and excessive sleepiness. The condition can significantly deteriorate a person's quality of life, leading to reduced productivity, impaired cognitive function, mood disturbances, and an increased risk of accidents or injuries due to daytime sleepiness.This educational program delves into the pathophysiology and diagnosis of insomnia as well as the role of the orexin system in the sleep/wake cycle. The program also evaluates the latest treatments, including the dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), daridorexant, and lemborexant, and how these DORAs compare to other insomnia treatments with the aim of improving treatment choices, reducing adverse events, and improving patient outcomes.
