Dr. Kristine Goins and Dr. Christopher J. Allen discuss the epidemic of sleep deprivation among physicians. Dr. Allen highlights how long shifts, irregular schedules, and cultural expectations in medicine often lead to chronic burnout.

He provides insightful tips, such as maintaining consistent wake times, keeping a sleep log, and prioritizing restorative rest. He also addresses travel-related sleep disruptions and the effects of "sleep debt," explaining that while recovery is possible, it requires consistency and patience. Dr. Allen advocates seeking help for persistent issues and stresses that sleep is fundamental to effective caregiving.


Bio

Dr. Christopher J. Allen is a board-certified specialist in Sleep Medicine for both children and adults, as well as Pediatric Neurology. He received his training at the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, and is currently the CEO and Lead Physician of Quality Sleep and Neurology PC, located in Saginaw, Michigan.

A proud alumnus of Howard University and a certified pediatric neurologist, Dr. Allen is deeply passionate about neurology, with an even greater dedication to sleep medicine. His mission is to ensure that everyone has access to quality sleep, recognizing its vital role in overall health. He is a staunch advocate for prioritizing rest in a world where it is often undervalued, playfully referring to himself as a “sleep superhero” on a mission to improve sleep health.

Beyond his professional life, Dr. Allen is an enthusiastic Raiders fan, a spirited karaoke performer, and a dance enthusiast.
