Excited to announce release of children's book on undergoing polysomnography I co-authored with Dr. Roberta Leu called "I am getting a sleep study!" The book will hopefully aid pediatric patients and caretakers in preparing for a sleep study.

As we honor those who served today it is important to acknowledge how many veterans suffer from PTSD related sleep disruption and nightmares. Please check in with those who have served and make sure they are well, not just today but all year round!
The @US_FDA has approved the NightWare #watchOS app, enabling the #AppleWatch to help in the treatment of PTSD nightmares and sleep disturbances. appleinsider.com/articles/20…
In addition to helping patients with PTSD related nightmares, it will be interesting to see if this, or similar technology, is beneficial in patients suffering from REM behavior disorder.
