Picking the right mattress and pillow is important. Choosing the right material that goes over your mattress is equally essential. Bedding materials come in many forms and they can make a difference in your sleep experience. In this episode we will:

Look at the research about bedding and disease modification
Understand the temperature-regulating properties of various fabrics
Explore cotton as a bedding material and how the addition of performance fibers can enhance the cooling properties of the material
Evaluate linen as a bedding material and learn how newer forms can help is become a cooler fabric while retaining the properties that make if feel more upscale
Provide an overview of polyester, perhaps the fabric with the biggest quality range in the bedding space
Consider silk and how it might be the best fabric for sensitive skin or for people with certain dermatological conditions
Discuss the cooling nature of bamboo and its low impact on the environment
Largely ignore flannel as a bedding abomination
Touch upon Tencel and its unique textural properties

#142 - Death to Daylight Saving Time: For Clock Back Move And Make It For A While 30:43

5 weeks önce30:43

30:43

As we recover from yet another "spring forward" into Daylight Saving Time again, it seems a good time to revisit the topic we initially covered in episode 18. While that episode sought more to explain the origins of the practice and how to best adjust, this episode is more of a declaration as to why the entire practice should be abolished in favor of permanent standard time. In this episode we will: Unpack the support for eliminating the clock change and why many lawmakers have ignored science and pushed for a permanent adoption of daylight saving time (DST) List the many entities and groups that support the adoption of permanent standard time Briefly touch upon the few "cons" to permanent standard time and how they are both questionable and dwarfed by the available research in favor of permanent standard time Explain the circadian and health benefits of permanent standard time Explore the school performance benefit of eliminating DST Measure the positive environmental impact of adopting standard time all year Dive into productivity increases when the standard time is adopted Learn why permanent daylight saving time already failed in the 1970s Debunk the noting that the practice was started to benefit farmers; not only is this not true, but farmers opposed it because of the reduction in morning light Produced by: Maeve Winter More Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!…

If you pay any attention to sleep hygiene advice, you have probably heard many times that you should get up at the same time every day for optimal sleep. But does that mean you can never lounge around in bed a little in the morning? According to the Scottish, not at all. In fact, they have a term for it: hurkle-durkle.

When we think about the deleterious effects of poor sleep, cardiovascular and cognitive/psychological consequences typically come first to mind. One of the less obvious and less understood effects is that of cancer which was listed as a probably carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2007.

While the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires continue to burn in California, firefighters and other first responders work tirelessly around the clock. What does their ability to bypass sleep for 48-60 hours mean in terms of individuals with insomnia, and what does this kind of work do to their own health?
