If we could only sell people on the importance of sleep as successfully as we sell them on the pleasures of sex, we’d have a much healthier—and happier bunch. This is one of sleep expert Kirk Parsley’s messages. Parsley calls sleep “the greatest elixir,” and places its importance above that of both exercise and nutrition. Yet, this simple physiological need is hard to satisfy in a society that glorifies business and overworking—and loves its electronics, which don’t exactly prepare the body for sleep. Parsley discusses these and other issues with STEM-Talk host Dawn Kernagis. He talks about how his background as a Navy SEAL led him to a career in medicine, focused on sleep. He also explains why sleep is important—and how you can get more of it. Parsley served as the Naval Special Warfare’s expert on sleep medicine, and has been a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 2006. He is also the inventor of the Sleep Cocktail, a supplement designed for the sleep optimization of Navy SEALs: http://www.sleepcocktails.com A much sought-after sleep expert, this podcast marks Parsley’s 100th podcast interview. You can find more information on him at his web site: www.docparsley.com. You can find his TED talk at http://tinyurl.com/pw9h7qz 4:10: Dawn welcomes Kirk. 5:00: Kirk joined the Navy SEALs after high school and stayed for nearly seven years. “I quickly realized that was a young, single man’s job, and I was becoming neither.” 6:09: Kirk volunteered at the San Diego Sports Medicine Center to qualify for physical therapy school, but found the field too limited, so he shadowed doctors and decided to pursue medicine. 7:00: He attended the military’s medical school. “They were going to pay me to go to medical school instead of the other way around…” 9:58: The SEALs came to him for medical advice. “The most palatable way for me to talk about it in the military was through sleep. They didn’t really want me talking about testosterone. Adrenal fatigue is sort of a pseudo-scientific term. So inadvertently I became a sleep guy.” 10:40: “I don’t think there’s any area of your life that isn’t significantly impacted by sleep. Good quality sleep is probably the most important elixir there is.” He places it above both nutrition and exercise. 11:35: Sleep is a hard sell, with the advent of factory jobs and the idea that time is money. 13:55: “My message is the more you sleep, the more work you get done.” 14:58: “The big problem with sleep is …. Once you fall asleep until you wake up, you don’t really have any objective experience of that.” 15:50: Polysomnographs reveal that some people wake up 300 times a night, but say they slept fine. 16:13: You don’t need the same amount of sleep every day. Seven and a half hours is the average amount of sleep we aim for to enhance the immune system. 17:05: Kirk compares proper sleep to taking your daily vitamin. “You can’t really tell the true benefits of proper sleep until you’ve done it for a month or so.” 17:40: Wearable tech gadgets such as Fitbit and Jawbone measure how much you move during sleep and equate that with sleep quantity. “The truth is you could stare at your ceiling, never move, and never sleep, and it would say you got this awesome night of sleep.” 19:00: Some devices also measure heart rate variability; others, placed under your pillow or on your nightstand, record your respiratory rate. Some iPhone apps capture snoring. 19:40: Polysomnographs are the gold standard for determining how much somebody sleeps. 20:00: Everyone has a different sleep metric: mood, athletic performance, project completion rate/satisfaction. 21:12: Sleep deprivation leads to anxiety, which is already a big problem for entrepreneurs and other professionals. 21:20: Commercial break: STEM-Talk is an educational service of the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, a not-for-profit research lab pioneering ground-breaking technol...

[15:25] Are we close to establishing a piece of objective data that would help make the value of sleep easier for folks to understand? [19:25] Danny discusses how blood his blood panels were drastically improved by a three week sleep intervention and asks Dr. Parsley which panels folks should look to have tested outside of those standard with a yearly physical.  According to Doc Parsley to some degree it doesn’t matter because no matter what the metric better sleep will positively affect the panel. [27:15] After blacking out the room and avoiding electricity in your room what recommendations would Kirk Parsley make in terms of sleep hygiene?  Kirk’s recommendations aren’t so different than those you might prescribe an infant.  It comes down to establishing a routine to calm the mind, blocking blue light, and keeping a cool room. [34:25] Kirk describes what he might prescribe as a general morning routine. [38:25] What is causes folks to wake in the middle of the night?

Meet Dr. Kirk Parsley (pictured above), affectionately known as "Doc Parsley". Doc Parsley is a former Navy SEAL. He received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006. He served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. And in addition to being able to kill you with his pinky finger, he's a total sleep nerd. Doc Parsley has been a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 2006 and served as Naval Special Warfare’s expert on Sleep Medicine. After leaving the Navy he went into concierge medicine and consulting. He consults on sleep for multiple corporations, and professional athletes, teams and individual clients, including the Navy SEALs. He lectures worldwide on sleep, wellness, anti-aging and hormonal optimization. But wait, I'm not done... Doc Parsley is also a bit of a chemist, and his supplement formulations are used to help the world’s most elite fighting organization: the Navy SEALs. He designs sleep products to compensate for the toxic environment that SEALs find themselves living in - high stress, heavily processed foods, and insufficient sleep, and his brand new "" is the first sleep product designed specifically for hard-charging, high-achievers to fall asleep fast. I know that I talk a lot about different pills, capsules, powders and oils that can help you sleep, but this  stuff is one of the most potent that I've used lately, and worth a try, especially if nothing else seems to be working for you. So now you can tap into the , and in today's podcast we get to talk about that, the unique mix of Sleep Cocktail ingredients, sleep cycles, melatonin, jet lag, and much, much more. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The shocking things that happen to your body while you are sleeping if you take Ambien or Valium... -Why the GABA in sleep supplements doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier (and how to actually make GABA cross your blood-brain barrier)... -Why you must shut down your neocortex if you want to get true, restorative sleep... -The biggest nutrient deficiencies that keep you from falling asleep... -One big disturbing fact about physicians and sleep... -Why you "wake up" in middle of night when melatonin wears off... -How to manage jet lag symptoms with supplementation protocol... -If you can take sleep supplements when you wake up at, say, 4 or 5am and you want to sleep until 7am... -And much more! Do you have questions, comments or feedback about sleep supplements or insomnia? Leave your thoughts at and either myself or Doc Parsley will reply!
