An excellent article on RLS in the #Guardian. The US experts mentioned in the article are all aware of the serious complications of #Ropinirole, #Pramipexole and #Rotigitone. theguardian.com/wellness/2025/…

CPAP with tirzepatide will likely be better than CPAP alone for obesity-related OSA. I’m optimistic and glad to have this option for patients.

Trying too hard to sleep might be the reason you can’t. 💤 With the rise of “sleep maxxers” and obsessive tracking, 81% of Americans are losing sleep over… their sleep. Social media trends, wellness products, and sleep tech are fueling the pressure for perfect rest—but true rest

As long as we have to do this, it's important to get a good night of sleep tonight in advance of having an hour of sleep stolen from us tomorrow night. Even better would be not having to adapt. Let's make this year's DST our last. #savestandardtime, #enddst

I appreciate the opportunity to counter Sens. Tuberville and Britt's silly claims that permanent daylight saving time is a good idea. Been there. Done that. Permanent DST failed miserably and it does NOT create any extra daylight! #enddaylightsavings muckrack.com/broadcast/save…

Thank you @journalistsree and Sleep Review for highlighting the sex bias in sleep apnea diagnosis. #OSA is a serious health problem for women, too. Our tools need to improve, and our stereotypes of OSA patients need to disappear. sleepreviewmag.com/sleep-disorder…
