Dr. Fong-Isariyawongse is a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh with specialties in sleep medicine and epilepsy- but her passion extends far beyond the clinic. She is a tireless advocate for public health policies that prioritize sleep, recognizing its foundational role in brain function, mental health, and overall well-being. Dr. Fong-Isariyawongse shares tips for getting good sleep and explains why things like later school start times and changes in the way Daylight Saving Time is observed are important for brain health.
