Insomnia from Two Sides: Evo Terra & Dr. Spencer Dawson
• 56 minAccording to the My Podcast Reviews service, by Daniel J. Lewis, there are as of this writing 1,429,590 valid podcasts in Apple Podcasts. Evo Terra had podcast #40. The 40th podcast ever produced belonged to Evo Terra. And Evo has been battling insomnia for something like fifteen years, often with help from a certain herbal remedy that has been discussed by other guests on the show, particularly the episode with Dr. Ryan Vandrey and the one with Dr. Richard Allen, both from Johns Hopkins University. We talk about the impact said remedy has had on his insomnia, and whether he thinks he's taking a performance hit from his usual four or five hours of sleep per night. In the second part of the show: Ever have a night where it seems like you literally blinked, but you look at the clock and hours have gone by? Or you woke up feeling like you slept pretty well, but your partner’s mad at you because you actually were tossing and turning all night long and you have no memory of it? That’s something called sleep state misperception - among other things. We’ll get into that and a bunch of other insomnia-related topics with Dr. Spencer Dawson from Better Sleep Bloomington. Spencer is a clinical psychologist in private practice specializing in Behavioral Sleep Medicine. He's focused on sleep discrepancy, insomnia comorbid with sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia. He's also focused on the puppy who kept him from getting a good night's sleep last night. Neil also has a special invitation for the hundreds of talented researchers and presenters at this year's SLEEP2020 virtual conference. And Hazleburg left a review of The Snooze Button from somewhere in America, and a five-star rating, too. Neil shares that and offers a way for you to leave your own feedback.
