You addressed the patient’s breathing and airway issues. But they are still spending their days feeling like they haven’t slept. What’s the deal?\nThis week, sleep expert and psychiatrist Dr. Shane Creado joins Jason Tierney and Dr. Erin Elliott to solve the mystery of the \"tired-but-treated\" patient. We are diving into the \"busy brain,\" the trap of sleep trackers, and why your bedroom might be training you to stay awake.\nWhether you are a doctor helping patients or just someone tired of being tired, this episode is a wake-up call. It is time to stop focusing on how long you stay in bed and start focusing on how well you actually sleep.\nWhat We Discuss in This Episode\nPills vs. Skills: Why retraining your brain with CBT-I is better than using sleeping pills like Ambien or Xanax.\nThe Airway Isn’t Everything: Why opening the \"pipe\" does not always turn off the \"alert\" button in the brain.\nBedtime Math: Why spending too much time in bed can actually make insomnia worse.\nThe Busy Brain Problem: How to stop your brain from treating 2:00 AM like a stressful business meeting.\nThe Tracker Trap: Is your Oura Ring or Apple Watch giving you \"Orthosomnia\"? This is when you are so stressed about your sleep data that you cannot actually sleep.\nSleep Like a Pro: How small changes can turn an average person into an elite athlete.\nSocial Jet Lag: Why sleeping in late on Saturday feels like a five-hour flight delay for your brain.\nThe Golf Secret: How to talk to patients about sleep so they actually listen. (Hint: Talk about their golf score, not their blood pressure.)\nThe Big Idea\n\nMost people think sleep is just something that happens when you aren't awake. Dr. Creado explains that sleep is actually a skill. If your brain has \"learned\" how to stay awake and anxious, a CPAP machine or a dental appliance cannot fix that on its own.\nThis episode is about moving past the hardware (the airway) and fixing the software (the habits and the mind).\nResources and Links...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/52Qaaw05xuFHPCIyraqjh64o9mT1jbe9VlOf6cHLHwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMzg4/ZGE2MTI3YzQwNTcw/ZTRjYjBkNjBkZTZl/NTEyOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
