#1 - Welcome/Introduction to Sleep Unplugged

There are few things more universal and fun to talk about than sleep. We all do it, and it impacts everyone's health and sense of wellness. For the last 30 years, I have been involved in some way or another with sleep. I began studying sleep as a researcher in the early 1990s and am now a neurologist who specializes in treating sleep disorders in adults and kids. In this episode, I share a bit about my background in sleep science and how I have come to spend three decades in the field. Future episodes will include:

• practical sleep information, tips, and strategies for resting better and understanding sleep
• interesting and illustrative patient stories
• experiences with the many professional sports organizations for whom I work
• excerpts from my books 
• debunking sleep myths and misinformation
• explanations and responses to current research and popular topics
• items that go beyond traditional biomedical sources like music and art that involve sleep
