An American Thoracic Society (@atscommunity) policy statement highlights factors contributing to PAP adherence disparities and advocates for policy change to CMS PAP coverage requirements to reduce inequities and align with patient-centered goals. https://t.co/55lRCH3Xja

The 7 year old girl who kept her hand on her little brother's head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity...

An important study for anyone thinking about masking to prevent viral spread in schools. The bottom line is masking protects students and teachers.

Again, good to have this behind us. Congrats to all my co-defendants. 🙏

Feel like COVID revisionist misinformation winning. Doing real harm.

Evidence-informed reality:
- Vaccines worked & saved millions of lives
- Public health measures needed (yes, learn & do better)
- Therapeutics were studied (ivermectin ineffective)
- Yes, complex policy Qs!

Adults over 50 who #sleep for five hours or less per night have a greater risk of developing more than one chronic disease when compared to their peers who sleep seven hours, according to a study, published October 18th in the journal PLOS Medicine. https://t.co/HC4QsYMfSG

For a lot of kids, an earlier bedtime is the way to improve sleep duration. It’s simple and a good place to start for kids who aren’t well rested.

[American Academy of Sleep Medicine @AASMorg]

Are nonpharmacological interventions effective in lengthening #sleep duration in healthy children? This @JAMAPediatrics study found that interventions that included earlier bedtimes were associated with 47 minutes longer sleep duration per night. https://t.co/GlREmx9EWn

@RobynCohenMD As an alternative to a light box, I have used these glasses https://t.co/mHWlqmuGfd I have had kids who can’t sit still in from of a light box who will wear them. I use them in the winter too. They are more expensive then a light box.

Cold water immersion post exercise has never been my thing. And it might not be helpful for those who can tolerate it either. #science #evidence

[Nick Tiller, Ph.D. @NBTiller]

Cold water immersion impairs #muscle #protein synthesis following strenuous exercise. Just the latest in a string of studies showing determinantal effects of ice bathing.

When will the #science trickle through to competitive sport? @JPhysiol
