A dynamic speaker and researcher on the science of sleep, he is author of two acclaimed books, The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child. In a wellness world where prioritizing sleep has rapidly become as crucial as diet and exercise, Dr. Winter sets out to dispel the many myths about sleep optimization, offering straightforward, effective strategies to help you improve your sleep habits. Join us as we explore the fascinating role sleep stages play in rejuvenating our bodies and minds, discussing the function of REM versus deep sleep and attempting to answer the question, why do we dream? Dr. Winter examines the impact of sleep deprivation, particularly for shift workers, and explains how sleep orchestrates our bodily functions like a skilled conductor. We also navigate the complex world of sleep disorders, differentiating between insomnia and sleep deprivation and advocating for a comprehensive, lifestyle-aware approach to diagnosis - highlighting how quality and quantity of sleep is relevant, but most crucially how important consistency is. Our conversation extends to the benefits and misunderstandings surrounding sleep supplementation such as melatonin, why most of his client's don't need sleep studies and the importance of chrononutrition - the study of how the timing of meals, nutrition and circadian rhythms interact with health. Dr. Winter offers insights into historical sleep patterns and the advantages of biphasic sleep, napping and structured rest. We highlight the synergistic connection between meditation and sleep, encouraging you to embrace meditative rest as a tool for enhanced wellbeing.

Chris Winter's path to becoming a world-renowned sleep doctor began when he was a child. When the power went out in a blizzard and he and his family were huddled up in sleeping bags around their stove, he wondered, “Does everyone like to sleep as much as me?” Fast forward 20 or so years and Chris was studying at the University of Virginia, wondering what branch of medicine to specialize in. A biology credit advisor suggested that he help out a sleep specialist, Paul Serratt. One day, Chris said, “It'd be cool to study how sleep affects athletes.” His mentor replied, “Chris, this is the best thing about it – anything you can think about with sleep research hasn't been done yet.” Just like that, Chris decided what he wanted to do with his career. During his first year of practice,Chris heard that the Montreal Expos were playing half their games in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and realized this would be the perfect opportunity to study how jet lag and circadian rhythm disruption impacts sports performance. This kicked off what would become one of the largest sleep studies of pro athletes, with Chris compiling data from more than 22,000 MLB games over nine years. The San Francisco Giants saw a news report quoting Chris when he presented his research and hired him as a consultant, and soon afterward the Oklahoma City Thunder did likewise. He has since worked with the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Charlotte Hornets, and Washington Wizards, as well as the Washington Mystics in the WNBA.In this episode, Chris shares:What you can do to sleep longer and better without medicationHow sleep improves physical performance and emotional wellbeingWhy sleep is a secret weapon that helps NBA veterans stay in the league and young players make the cutHow travel gives one team a circadian advantage and what that means for when you cross time zonesWhat coaches, physical therapists, and other practitioners can do to improve their athletes' sleepLearn more from Chris by reading his books The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child, and by following him on Twitter @drchriswinter

There may be no topic in sleep that is more studied yet often misunderstood than alcohol.

There is nothing in the realm of sleep medicine that creates more confusion (both among patients and providers) than paradoxical insomnia. Known by many terms over the years, paradoxical insomnia (or sleep state misperception) is at once common and rare, This is unfortunate because more awareness could improve the overall recognition and diagnosis or insomnia as well as improve treatment outcomes. In this episode we will:Review the definition and incidence of insomnia disorderExplore the inherent problems that result from patient sleep reporting (sleep latency, sleep duration, etc.)Describe the origins of sleep state misperception and how it was a natural outgrowth of the more widespread use and formalization of the polysomnogramDefine paradoxical insomnia and detail the shortcomings of the definitionDifferentiate between a formal diagnosis of paradoxical insomnia and a patient who underestimated their sleep amount/overestimates sleep latencyLook at historical studies that first quantified the number of insomnia patients that underestimated their sleep amount and to what degreeDefine the Misperception Index (MI) and how it can be used to create a spectrum and diagnostic structure for paradoxical insomnia.

Art of Manliness When neurologist and sleep specialist Dr. Chris Winter sees adult patients in his sleep clinic, they often come to him because of a struggle with insomnia, which, as he described in a previous appearance on the AoM podcast, is caused by stressing too much about sleep, so that going to bed becomes an anxious and fear-inducing routine that sabotages the natural needs and rhythms of the sleep cycle.Chris would see fewer adult patients like this if, when they were kids, their parents set them up to have a healthy relationship with sleep.How to establish that kind of healthy relationship is something Chris writes about in his latest book, The Rested Child, and is the topic of our conversation today. Chris will take us through what parents should know about their kids' sleep from the womb through young adulthood, with tips on both how to improve your children's sleep, and how to avoid messing it up, including his take on co-sleeping, why he let his kids go to bed whenever they wanted, and why he discourages giving children melatonin to help them sleep.Resources Related to the PodcastChris' last appearance on the show — episode #661: Get Better Sleep By Stressing About It LessNational Sleep Foundation's graph and write-up of sleep duration recommendations across the lifespanConnect With Dr. Chris WinterChris on InstagramChris on Twitter

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
We've already covered a couple of episodes on sleep, including the https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/sleep/ (cultural issues associated with sleep), then more recently we talked with https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/restedchild (Dr. Chris Winter about his book The Rested Child) where we looked at sleep issues in older children. But if you have a young child who isn't sleeping well, from the baby stage all the way up to about preschool, this episode is for you! My guest is Macall Gordon, senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Antioch University Seattle, and who has studied young children's sleep for 20 years. She's particularly interested in the intersection between children's temperament and their sleep, and how parents of the children she calls 'little livewires' can support these children so everyone gets more sleep. If you have questions about sleep training - particularly when and how to do it - this episode is for you! And if you're expecting a baby or have one under the age of one (whether this is your first or not!) you might be interested in the Right From The Start course, which is designed to help you get things right for you from the start. We go in-depth on understanding topics like sleep, feeding, physical, mental, and emotional development, and more - both for baby and for you! Get all the (research-backed, of course) information you need, plus a supportive community and four group coaching calls during the 8-week course. Enrollment is open from April 3-13, and we start together on Monday April 18. Click the picture below to learn more!

Sleep disorders in kids are on the rise. Experts say sleeplessness is a hidden health crisis for kids and teens. Neurologist and sleep expert Dr. Chris Winter is here to share from his book, The Rested Child. If you're wondering how to get your child to sleep longer (and get to bed earlier), this is your episode. Finally you'll understand the root of your child's sleep problems and what you can do about it...starting tonight.
Sleep disorders in children are on the rise. Experts have pronounced sleeplessness a "hidden health crisis" for young people, with 10% of children presenting with diagnosable sleep disorders—but well over half are misdiagnosed. Every year, tens of thousands of children are treated for diseases such as diabetes, learning disorders, or chronic pain, when the real root cause of their ailment may actually be a sleep disorder for which they're not being treated.In his new book THE RESTED CHILD: Why Your Tired, Wired, or Irritable Child May Have a Sleep Disorder-and How to Help, neurologist and sleep expert Dr. Chris Winter identifies the signs and symptoms of the most common sleep disorders affecting children today, and he empowers parents and caregivers to understand the steps necessary to address and treat their children's sleep problems. From common issues such as too much screen time and night terrors to narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and more, The Rested Child leaves no stone unturned. This book pulls back the curtain on the relationship between poor sleep quality and pediatric epidemics related to psychiatric health, rising obesity, ADD/ADHD, pain disorders, and other undiagnosed disorders of sleepiness and fatigue.
