I was consulting with a pediatric ENT and pediatric dentist earlier today on ankyloglossia regarding a patient and how this can contribute to behavioral and ADHD-like symptom presentation and the need for improved screening as it’s not entirely uncommon and generally underdiagnosed.
We all know about quality sleep as essential for optimal functioning and the conversation left me wondering about actual sleep patterns among healthcare professionals and how individual sleep requirements/preferences vary among us. Made me curious about others’ experiences with sleep. A few questions came up:
1. Number of hours of sleep you need to feel well rested during the day?
2. Time you go to bed/wake up?
3. Optimal room temperature to sleep?
4. Sleep environment (completely dark, dim light white noise, sound of the clock ticking, mattress/pillow firmness, etc.)?
5. Do you snore? Mouth or nose breather?
6. If partnered, does your partner snore? How disruptive is this?
7. Preferred sleepwear?
8. Trouble falling asleep, frequent waking, sleepwalking or parasomnic behaviors?
9. Can you sleep in cars or on planes/trains, etc?
