The Sleep Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Andrea Matsumura
Why do you fall asleep fine, then wake up at 3 AM with a racing heart and a brain that won’t switch off?
If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you are not imagining it, and it is not “just aging.” Sleep disruption affects up to 60% of women in the menopause transition. For many, it doesn’t go away after menopause.
Dr. Alison Kole sits down with sleep physician and menopause expert Dr. Andrea Matsumura, creator of the D.R.E.A.M. Sleep Method™. They cover what is actually happening to midlife women’s sleep and wh...
Will Sleep Apnea End My Military Career? CPAP, Deployment & the Truth About Getting Tested

James, a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer with 20 years of service, a respiratory therapist, and Director of Military Healthcare Initiatives at Quality DME.

On my birthday (yes, really), I sat down with Dr. Erin Flynn-Evans, director of the Fatigue Countermeasures Laboratory at NASA Ames Research Center, who helps...
Always Tired With COPD? It Might Not Be Your Lungs
Doing everything right for your COPD and still exhausted, foggy and short of breath? It might not be your lungs.
In honor of World Oxygen Day (October 2, also my birthday!), I'm joined by fellow pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine physician Dr. Saema Tahir, the NYC Sleep Doctor. We talk about what happens when COPD and obstructive sleep apnea overlap, why it's so often missed, and what you can do about it.
Oxygen therapy is life-changing when you need it. But if sleep apnea is part of the picture, oxygen alone won't fix it.

Ever been told your exhaustion is "just stress"?
Lindsay Scola spent 20 years at the center of politics and entertainment, advancing events for President Obama and working the Emmys, while secretly fighting to stay awake.

This week I'm joined by Dr. Olivia Walch, PhD, a mathematician and sleep scientist, author of Sleep Groove, and CEO of Arcascope, the company behind th...
National Sleep Foundation Talks Kids Sleep
Your kid is bouncing off the walls at 7 p.m., melting down over the wrong-colored cup, and you're standing there thinking: how are they not tired?
Here's what nobody tells you. When adults are sleep-deprived, we run out of battery — slow, foggy, flat. When kids are sleep-deprived, the system doesn't drain. It glitches. They speed up. Which means the child who looks least tired is often the one who needs sleep most.
New data says this is happening in almost half of American homes.
I'm joined by Dr. Joseph Dzierzewski, PhD, Senior Vice Pr...

Nightmares in Narcolepsy Are Way Worse Than You Think (And We Can Rewrite Them)
Narcolepsy isn’t just about “falling asleep at the wrong time.” For many patients, the scariest part is what happens inside their sleep—long, vivid, emotionally intense nightmares that can blur into sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and even waking life.
In this episode of Sleep Is My Waking Passion, Dr. Alison Kole sits down with clinical psychologist and sleep researcher Dr. Jennifer Mundt (University of Utah) to unpack a symptom almost no one is talking about: nightmares in narcolepsy—and how cognitive behavioral therapy for nightmares (CBT-N) and imagery rehearsal techniques may help rewrite them.

Why Your Insomnia Isn’t About Sleep Time (And How Digital CBT-I Can Actually Cure It) with Dr. Jason Ong
