Show Notes:
In this first installment of Reap the Sleep we cover effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on brain compensatory mechanisms as we age. Clinical studies demonstrate that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves cognition in aged patients - and even in Alzheimer’s patients - who have OSA. We also explore the association between OSA and neurodegenerative/cardiovascular diseases, and we emphasize why early diagnosis and treatment of OSA are so important.
And on the high-tech behavioral therapy front: patients with insomnia may be able to fall asleep faster and sleep longer following a F.A.S.T. session. Listen and learn why.
And last but not least a ’sexy’ mishap had Medicaid patients calling a phone-sex line instead of the Medicaid office. That mistake probably led to sleeplessness for some Medicaid bureaucrats, and less sleep for some Medicaid patients!
