OnAir, with Clinical Respiratory News
Health & Fitness:Medicine
In this episode of OnAir, clinical expert Professor Christoph Schöbel and host Daniela Ehrsam-Tosi discuss sleep quality and sleep disorders.
There’s a growing awareness of the importance of sleep for our cardiovascular system and our general health and wellbeing. At the same time, our ability to get good sleep is increasingly challenged by everything from late-night scrolling to irregular work schedules, stress and anxiety. It’s thought that 10-30% of people worldwide suffer from insomnia1, not to mention other sleep disorders like OSA and restless leg syndrome.
In this context, which diagnostic and treatment pathways should we be prioritising? Should primary care screening programmes focus on sleep as well as diet and exercise? What benefits might digital technology have to offer? Professor Schöbel shares his thoughts on these points, as well as discussing the new European Insomnia Guideline2 and the challenges of treating COMISA (co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnoea).
