Registration is now open for the Duke University High Performance & Sports Science Conference. I think speaking from the floor of Cameron Indoor Stadium is the coolest gig I've ever had. @Duke_Neurology

Thank you @journalistsree and @SleepReview 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.

It's not fair to make an Eastern time zone team start a game at 10 PM against a Pacific time zone team. And to do that when the higher seed is from the East is terrible. @umichbball Please talk to your local sleep experts! @cathygo_sleep @AnitaVShel. There are ways to mitigate.

The @MarchMadnessMBB scheduled Michigan (5-seed) to play UCSD (12) at 10 PM EDT in Denver (MDT). This game will start at 7 PM for UCSD and end at midnight EDT, a huge disadvantage for Michigan. This nonsense has to end. Just like Mich-UCLA in 2021 also at 10PM.

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

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.
The start of #DaylightSavingTime on Sunday means we #SpringForward & lose one hour of sleep. ⏰ . Dr. Andrew Spector from @Duke_Neurology explains the serious health risks of sleep loss & shares some advice to wake up happy and healthy. @DukeHospital @DukeRegional @DukeRaleigh

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.
Editor’s pick: @US_FDA approved #tirazepatide for obesity-related #ObstructiveSleepApnea. Here’s what top sleep neurologists want you to know about it. @AndrewSpectorMD, @dannybsleepMD and @UCLASleepMD, et al, weigh in: . #NeuroTwitter @AANMember

I spent years desperate for help and exhausted from lack of sleep. But the condition is badly misunderstood – even by doctors
