@nataliezzz3 @JenSeniorNY I agree with this wholeheartedly. Undiagnosed #OSA and #UARS are often presented as insomnia, and I routinely check clients for sleep apnea before treating their insomnia. UARS is specifically a tragedy, as most ENTs/Drs will not treat UARS even if it is contributing to insomnia.

Excellent article by @JenSeniorNY on the state of #insomnia and its treatment in America. I love your first hand approach and detailing of your experience. As a #CBTforinsomnia therapist, I see this med shame and sleep hyperfixation daily. It is a problem. And...🧵

@JenSeniorNY The flexibility, as well as the personalized behavioral plans, lead to the success I see in treating insomnia using CBT-i. It is tough though, but short term pain leads to long term gains. I'm here when your are ready to give CBT-i a third chance 😉 7/7

@JenSeniorNY In my practice, I promote creating a #sleepmenu instead of #sleephygiene. Don't throw the book at your sleep, try different things. Your #sleeprecipe may be different than your mother in law's. That is ok! It doesn't mean your sleep is broken (an almost universal fear I see). 6/

@SleepDoctorTal Such solid advice—sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s okay.

[Dr. Joshua Tal @SleepDoctorTal]

@restfulsleephub I love this!! For insomniacs of faith, this would be an excellent resource to experiment with. #ChristianSleep

[Dr. Joshua Tal @SleepDoctorTal]

If you try something to help your sleep, and it doesn't work, do not freak out! Experiment and find the right plan for you. Everyone's sleep is different!

[Dr. Joshua Tal @SleepDoctorTal]

These are hilarious. And very accurate, I see FOMO stealing my client's sleep way too often.

Is your Fear of Missing Out (#FOMO) keeping you up at night? 📱The urge to stay connected or binge-watch can steal your sleep! 😨

This leads to poor sleep quality, exhaustion, and health issues.

Permanent Standard Time aligns clocks with the sun… It supports human the circadian rhythm, which regulates alertness, sleepiness, and other biological functions… #DitchDST #DaylightSavingTime @DitchDst 🔗👇

It is healthier to sleep HOW YOU ARE COMFORTABLE. There is no perfect formula.

[Fact @Fact]

It is healthier to sleep in the nude than with clothes on.

Grateful to @Freed2Write for her article on obstructive sleep apnea in midlife women-as I said to Stacey, missing sleep-disordered breathing as a potential cause of insomnia in perimenopausal women is "suboptimal" #YouCanQuoteMeOnThat https://t.co/1civC6Uvxr

Do you wake up exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep? 😰 You’re not alone—over 24 million Americans suffer from #sleepapnea without even knowing it.

Have you been leaning into the “sleep is life” philosophy?😴

The challenge of getting to the root of your sleep situation stems from this fact: Sleep patterns are unique to us. “There are no golden rules that apply to everyone,” says @SleepDoctorTal, PhD.

#MondayMotivation You are not your sleepiness. You can handle being tired. Do not define yourself by your energy, define yourself by your actions.
