Hoy, 17 de marzo de 2023, celebramos el Día Mundial del Sueño. Sin embargo, a pesar de que el estudio de este milagro evolutivo vive su momento de oro y es objeto de investigación por parte de disciplinas como la fisiología, la neurología, la biología o la neurociencia entre otras, todavía sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente en nuestra sociedad moderna e híper conectada.El lema elegido este año por la World Sleep Society para celebrar este día es ‘El sueño es esencial para la salud'. Sencillo, claro y toda una declaración de intenciones: sin sueño de calidad, no hay salud de calidad.Un objetivo fundamental de mi trabajo y de este programa es concienciar y educar sobre cómo funciona el sueño y por qué es esencial, y para ello cuento hoy en el podcast con María Ángeles Bonmatí, bióloga, doctora en fisiología e investigadora en el CIBERFES del Instituto de Salud Carlos III.Notas del episodio

Sleep is the foundation of positive mental health and high performance. However, despite the fact that sleep is an instinctive ability, meaning we don't need to learn how to sleep, many people struggle with sleep disorders ranging from insomnia to sleep apnoea. Even those people who don't have a specific sleep disorder report struggling to switch off a busy mind, struggling to get to sleep, waking up during the night, not being able to sleep right through the night and relying on medication or alcohol in an attempt to get to sleep. World Sleep Day on Friday 17th March is organised by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Sleep Society and aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. In this podcast, you will discover the aspects impacting your sleep and some quick wins to help improve the quality and consistency of your sleep.

Did you know that today is World Sleep Day? Started by the World Sleep Society, World Sleep Day is an annual awareness day held the Friday before Spring Vernal Equinox of each year, which is March 18 this year. Each year, the organization offers a catchy slogan for people to keep in mind. This year it's “Quality Sleep, Sound Mind, Happy World,” which is fitting considering the state of the world right now. Questions to consider are “How does quality sleep help maintain mental health? How might better sleep help people focus during the day? Or how might fatigue weigh us down physically, mentally, and emotionally?” Nearly 200 activities are organized by volunteers in local communities across 56 countries around the world to celebrate the day—which advocates and raises awareness for sleep health, and this is an opportunity for you to drive more store traffic and build trust with customers through knowledge of the product. Here are a few ideas of events you could put on for World Sleep Day.

Humans have always slept, but our descendants may be doing it quite differently than current generations. Dr. Clete Kushida, former president of the World Sleep Society and a neurologist at the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine, tells Josh Robin that technological advancements may make fewer hours of shut-eye just as healthy; that deep sleep may one day prove easier to get; and that one day we may even be recording our dreams. Scientists are also hoping to answer the most basic, but elusive question: Why are our bodies programmed to need sleep at all? Plus, a debunked prediction on pajamas.

It was hard to get enough sleep before the coronavirus pandemic. Sleep problems actually "constitute a global epidemic that threatens health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world's population," according to the World Sleep Society, a non-profit organization of sleep professionals dedicated to advancing "sleep health worldwide.

The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society have come together to produce TEN podcasts about sleep as we countdown to World Sleep Day on March 13, 2010. In this podcast, Ruth Marion, Editor of The Sleep Forum and Allan O'Bryan, Executive Director of The Sleep Society speak with guest speaker, Dr. Judith Owens, Director of Sleep Medicine, Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders, Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital Boston. O'Bryan explains to our listeners that “world sleep society is a non-profit, membership based organization representing sleep researchers and clinicians around the world focusing on awareness and education. Our leadership is volunteers looking to promote sleep worldwide. We use World Sleep Day as opportunity for our membership reach out to the public and highlight the importance of sleep.” When asked by O'Bryan to discuss the most prevalent sleep disorders in children, Owens replied that sleep disorders in children "encompass a variety of potential problems such as breathing, insomnia, parasomnias, and insufficient sleep." She commented that sometimes an individual or whole family unit needs to change certain behaviors so that it can positively impact sleep. The most important thing is to make sure that kids get the recommended amount of sleep. Owens mentioned that the groups like the World Sleep Society and events like World Sleep Day are fantastic because it raises awareness for sleep health and sleep disorders for caregivers and health care providers as well. When asked why she felt sleep disorders in children has risen, she replies "anxiety levels in children and adolescents have increased for lots of reasons. Anxiety is a driver for insomnia – difficulty falling asleep or falling back to sleep.  The use of electronic devices we know quite clearly not only is stimulating to the brain but there is a biological piece – the blue light coming from the screen that inhibits the production of melatonin.  Owens talked about treatment and protocols for insomnia in adolescents. When teenagers go into puberty they also have a shift in their natural falling asleep and wake time. Most adolescents it is hard for them to fall asleep before 11 pm at night but their natural wake time also shifts.  One of the issues that comes into play is early school start time. Environmental factors like social networking, increasing homework, extra curricular activities and being over-scheduled makes sleep fall to the bottom of their priority list. Adolescents today are more sleep deprived than any other group we have seen in history and their consequences could be long term. Some recommendations by Owens included rearranging priorities so adolescents can get the sleep they need, taking a short strategic nap and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule on school days and non school days. Owens continued by talking about research that has proved the short term and long term consequences of sleep deprivation in adolescents. "We know there is a decline in executive functions which include decision making, planning, motivation, regulating emotions and problem solving.  Not getting enough sleep negatively impacts these executive functions." This is one of the reasons why car accidents are the number one cause of death in adolescents. Lack of impulse control leads to risky behaviors such as driving after drinking or while tired. Sleep deprived adolescents suffer from mood changes and depression which is also why suicide is the third highest cause of death among adolescents. In addition, poor academic function and obesity can be short term effects of sleep deprivation. Long term consequences will be cardiac disease, cognitive impairment, high blood pressure and other life threatening conditions. Owens reminds us to stay empowered and to bring up concerns about sleep at all ages to your health care providers. Health care providers are becoming more informed and reminded to ask these ...

The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society have come together to produce TEN podcasts about sleep as we countdown to World Sleep Day on March 13, 2010. In this podcast, Ruth Marion, Editor of The Sleep Forum and Allan O'Bryan, Executive Director of The Sleep Society speak with guest speaker, Dr. Richard Allen, Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins University. O'Bryan explains to our listeners that “world sleep society is a non-profit, membership based organization representing sleep researchers and clinicians around the world focusing on awareness and education. Our leadership is volunteers looking to promote sleep worldwide. We use World Sleep Day as opportunity for our membership reach out to the public and highlight the importance of sleep.” O'Bryan tells the listeners about Dr. Richard Allen and the extensive research he has done about restless leg syndrome (RLS). He has written over 300 peer reviewed articles on the topic of RLS. He is an undergraduate at MIT and graduate studies in psychology at Cambridge University in England. When asked what is a sleep disorder and how do you know if you have a sleep disorder, Allen replied, "you don't sleep through the night, you are doing strange things in the night or you wake up feeling tired." Allen talks about the long term effects of sleep deprivation or lack of restorative sleep. For example, he has had many patients that came to him and claimed to sleep eight hours a night but would get drowsy driving home after work and they would need to pull over. Allen reminds listeners that a lack of restorative sleep contributes to dementia and cardiovascular disease, among other illnesses. Allen describes RLS as an old disorder dating back to the 1800's. The disease used to be minimized and people were told to control themselves or just calm down and stop it. There are different controls of movement that happen when you get ready to sleep or rest. Restless leg begins when the person is getting ready to sleep or rest and gets worse as the person lays down and attempts to sleep. Allen talked about the treatment then and the treatment now. Early on in treatment, RLS patients would get referred to a psychiatrist. Several decades ago, you might have been given an opioid and told to go to a therapist and learn to relax. Current medications include dopamine and iron replacement. Current research is showing that a iron deficiency in the brain could cause RLS. Allen warns people not to take iron without a doctor monitoring it as too much iron could have worse consequences. As researchers today, we are trying to identify any early biomarkers to determine what the risks are so people can avoid the things that will lead to RLS later in life. One of the biggest developments we are working on, Allen tells us, is a better method to deliver iron to the brain. We believe we will have that approved in 10 years or less. We are also looking at replacing oral iron which is unpleasant and causes gastritis with another iron supplement. Lastly, we are looking at genetics to see if there is any link. Allen ends the podcast by stressing that with healthy restorative sleep we can improve cardiovascular health, avoid dementia and live a longer and more productive life as we enter our golden years. O'Bryan reminds us to check out the list of ten commandments of sleep hygiene on World Sleep Society website.

The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society have come together to produce TEN podcasts about sleep as we countdown to World Sleep Day on March 13, 2010. In this podcast, Ruth Marion, Executive Editor of The Sleep Forum and Allan O'Bryan, Executive Director of The Sleep Society speak with guest speaker Ricky Kalmon, world renowned hypnotist and mindfulness expert. O'Bryan begins the podcast by explaining that “world sleep society is a non-profit, membership based organization representing sleep researchers and clinicians around the world focusing on awareness and education. We use World Sleep Day, one of our biggest events, as opportunity for our membership reach out to the public and highlight the importance of sleep.” O'Bryan reminds listeners that "World Sleep Day is designed to raise awareness of sleep as a human privilege that is often compromised by the habits of modern life." When Marion introduced Kalmon and asked him to tell the listeners what he does, his reply was "I help people change the way they think so they can change what happens around them. How cool is that?" Kalmon is a professional hypnotist who says that all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Kalmon explains that the only thing holding anyone back from doing something is a thought or a doubt. If we believe something is true, chances are that is what the outcome will be. When we say things like, I can't sleep, I can't lose weight, and the like they become very powerful in our subconscious. "Our thoughts can be our best friend or our worst enemy," says Kalmon. People need to take a few minutes every day to reduce stress, focus and leverage their mindset. When we start to give ourselves more time to calm and relax during the day, we can bring that same calm to bed with us when we go to lay down and sleep. We learn how to leave the thoughts behind and fall asleep naturally. Kalmon says, "Give yourself permission to feel great. Self talk is very powerful stuff. Negativity and doubt can hold us back from having a great night's sleep." Kalmon agreed with all Ten Tips For Better Sleep provided by the World Sleep Society and added, "just breathe." The simplest things in life are most powerful. Kalmon also recommends taking four or five minutes out of your day and just be calm and breathe. He recommends no books or music. "You will come to see how this exercise brings on gratitude and happiness," Kalmon says.  O'Bryan comments about insomnia and how the first line of treatment is cognitive behavior therapy. Kalmon adds that cognitive behavior therapy teaches you how to change a behavior that could be contributing to your insomnia and "give yourself permission to fall asleep". Kalmon ends the podcast with one more recommendation to our listeners: "We are all a student of life. Everyday we should learn something or educate ourselves with something new. Just say to yourself, today I am going to be a better version of myself." Kalmon puts out a newsletter with tips to help you become more mindful and learn something new - go to www.rickykalmon.com to sign up today.

The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society have come together to produce TEN podcasts about sleep as we countdown to World Sleep Day on March 13, 2010. In this podcast, Doug Green, Publisher of The Sleep Forum and Allan O'Bryan, Executive Director of The Sleep Society speak with guest speaker Dr. Lourdes DelRosso, Sleep Physician at Seattle Children's Hospital and Associate Professor in the department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. O'Bryan begins the podcast by explaining that "world sleep society is a non-profit, membership based organization representing sleep researchers and clinicians around the world focusing on awareness and education. We use World Sleep Day, one of our biggest events, as opportunity for our membership reach out to the public and highlight the importance of sleep." When asked by O'Bryan to explain the importance of good night's sleep to our listeners, DelRosso immediately commented, "the increasing amount of research proves that we (adults and children) need quality sleep to consolidate memories, regulate the cardiovascular system, maintain even blood pressure and more. The podcast continued with discussion about recommendations DelRosso might have for parents with regard to children and sleep. First, DelRosso recommends that everyone check out the World Sleep Society list of healthy sleep habits for children. Second, consistency is key and the most important element. Inconsistency with your child's bedtime is like "putting your children in a different time zone every day." Create quiet time or wind down so the brain knows to start preparing for sleep. DelRosso spoke of research she and an international task force is currently working to prove that "restless sleep" is an actual sleep disorder. Looking back as far as 1981, this topic was already being discussed. Restless sleep used to be viewed as a depression or anxiety disorder. Now, it is being recognized as another possible sleep disorder as it does not fall into the same category that other sleep disorders do. When asked by O'Bryon to describe quality sleep, DelRosso says, "quality sleep is a subjective term which is what makes it hard for us researchers.  We have come to recognize that sleep disorders will disturb sleep.  But we must also remember other variables that can disturb our sleep like pain, eczema or asthma." DelRosso talked about how she sees a shift in awareness for quality sleep and sleep disorders. More parents are asking questions about sleep than ever before. She reminds parents not to wait if you think your child has a sleep disorder. Discuss the situation with your primary doctor and keep a sleep log. Pay attention to sleep and wake times, breathing problems, snoring, or napping. DelRosso tells the listeners about her own experiences with sleep deprivation throughout her life. "This has given me more awareness of what others are going through. says DelRosso. As sleep doctors, we try to see how others feel." DelRosso ends the podcast by reminding the listeners of the World Sleep Day 2020 slogan - Better sleep, better life, better planet. She says "it is great how different communities around the world are putting an emphasis on the sleep health of their citizens to make the world better for all of us."

The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society have come together to produce TEN podcasts about sleep as we countdown to World Sleep Day on March 13, 2010. In this kickoff podcast, Ruth Marion, Editor of The Sleep Forum and Allan O'Bryan, Executive Director of The Sleep Society speak with Nancy Rothstein, The Sleep Ambassador® and Director of Sleep Health at Resonea. O'Bryan explains to our listeners that "world sleep society is a non-profit, membership based organization representing sleep researchers and clinicians around the world focusing on awareness and education. We use World Sleep Day as opportunity for our membership reach out to the public and highlight the importance of sleep." Rothstein congratulates The Sleep Forum and World Sleep Society for doing a stellar job at raising awareness about the importance of sleep and bringing sleep education to the masses. Rothstein commented how she loved the World Sleep Day tagline - designated to raise awareness of sleep as a human privilege that is often compromised by the habits of modern life" and adds, "our biology hasn't changed, our behaviors have." When asked what motivated Rothstein to become so passionate about sleep, she replied "a snoring ex-spouse deserves all the credit." She was in the corporate world when she realized that sleep is actually a risk management issue. Researchers now know that how you sleep at home or on the road greatly impacts how you function at work, not to mention health care costs. "Companies are finally waking up to the importance of sleep and realizing the huge return on investment they will receive, says Rothstein. A well rested employee is an asset and a sleep deprived employee is a liability." You can read more about this topic in her paper The ROI of A Good Night's Sleep - Making a business case for bedtime. The good news is that good sleep is possible. It comes down to behavior modification and building new habits. It doesn't matter what sleep tracker you use, it matters what you do with that information. Also, Rothstein says, "it all comes down to how you feel in the morning. The best sleep technology is inside you." O'Bryan emphasizes that "getting 7 - 8 hours of sleep a night is one of the best thing you can do for your health. Sleep is as important as exercise and nutrition." O'Bryan explains that duration, depth and continuality are the three measures of quality sleep, according to World Sleep Society. Rothstein touched on the importance of consistency. Our body clock loves consistency. When we go against our natural body clocks, we are in trouble. Jet lag, according to Rothstein, "puts a glitch in your circadian rhythm which throws us off balance." Rothstein reminds us that "corporations can outsource sleep education and training for employees, but no one can sleep for you but you." Also, Rothstein adds, "no matter how great your sleep hygiene is, you might still not be getting proper sleep because of a sleep disorder. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to do something about that and seek out a sleep doctor." We ended the podcast with a discussion on the need for more corporations to come up with policies and procedures as they relate to sleep as part of their wellness offerings to employees.
