With a chunk of people working from home during the pandemic, naps have become a viable option for a mid-day refresher.
I discussed the pros and cons of an afternoon nap with Diana Shi from Fast Company and how to identify when a trip to your sleep doctor is needed.

Had a great discussion with Neil Hedley from the Snooze Button Podcast.
Our conversation started with my research on REM and mortality but we covered a range of topics including wearables, CBD, and best of all -- sleep nerd fights.
Neil’s podcast is an entertaining and educational medium for learning about the science of sleep as he engages with a range of guests in an effort to better understand his own sleep problems.

We investigated whether REM sleep is associated with greater risk of mortality in 2 independent cohorts and explored whether another sleep stage could be driving the findings.
This cross-sectional study from 2 independent cohorts found lower amounts of REM sleep were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. There was a 13% higher mortality rate over 12.1 years for every 5% reduction in REM sleep in a cohort of 2675 older men, and the finding was replicated in a cohort of 1375 middle-aged men and women followed-up for 20.8 years.
