In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I’m joined by Teresa Power to explore how better sleep can transform overall health and well-being. Drawing on her experience with oral appliances and sleep education, Teresa shares actionable tips on improving sleep hygiene, recognizing sleep disorder signs, and optimizing rest with the right sleeping positions and bedding materials.

Sleep impacts every aspect of physical and mental health, yet common issues like poor rest or disorders are often overlooked. Teresa’s insights will empower dental professionals to help patients while providing valuable advice for anyone looking to enhance their own sleep quality.

Tune in for practical guidance to sleep better, feel better, and live better!

About Teresa:

Teresa is the founder of Sleep Better NYC and a thought leader in the sleep coaching space. She was introduced to the world of sleep medicine when working for a manufacturer of oral appliances, and she was instantly hooked on the idea of educating patients on sleep health and collaborating for multidisciplinary care.

Teresa went on to earn her board certification in clinical sleep health, and over the years, her expertise has made her a national speaker on topics ranging from sleep hygiene and basic sleep science to dental sleep medicine protocols and remote physiological monitoring (RPM) for obstructive sleep apnea patients.
