Podcast 22: Sleep

Well, the school year is underway and everyone’s schedule has adjusted to their new routines. In the weeks leading up to the start of school concerns voiced by most students centered on the anticipation of standardized, high stakes tests. Interestingly, since the school year started, the concerns shifted and the main complaint now is that students are TIRED!

What is sleep anyway and how do we know if someone is getting enough sleep?!?  It is recommended that we spend at least a third of our life asleep. Can it really be that important? What are the consequences of not getting enough sleep? Is it OK to sacrifice sleep when we have a lot of work to do? What is proper sleep hygiene? Is it OK for my child to “wind down” at night watching videos on his iPad? What is the best setting for sleep? In this podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard answer these, and many other questions on one of the most important parts of our lives. So have a listen and let us know what you think.
