Are you drowsy, tired, fatigued and in need of more sleep? As host of The Sleep Radio Show®, I wanted to inform you about our upcoming show: The Impact of Drowsiness on Our Lives. Please join me on Wednesday, May 26 at NOON to 12:30 PM CST (1 PM to 1:30 PM EST). My guest will be Sheri Katz D.D.S. and President-Elect of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. Sheri’s insights into the issues related to drowsiness are compelling and significant. Sheri is a pioneer in the practice of dental sleep medicine, but her understanding about the personal and public health issues surrounding fatigue and sleep extend to a much broader arena. Our goal is to encourage listeners to address and assess how drowsiness impacts lives…..and to make important shifts towards healthy sleep. If you are unable to tune in for the live show at www.blogtalkradio.com/thesleepradioshow at NOON CST on Wednesday, May 26, no worries. All of our shows are archived at the link provided here, as well as available on iTunes, for your listening convenience. Wishing you restful sleep and happy days!

We do not often connect the dentist with our sleep. Yet, in addition to dental health, the dentist, particularly those trained in dental sleep medicine, can help recognize, screen and treat sleep disordered breathing. Dr. Jeffrey Pancer, one of the leading authorities in dental sleep medicine, will join me on The Sleep Radio Show to enlighten us about the dentist's role in sleep. Hopefully, you will be inspired to seek diagnosis and treatment for yourself or encourage someone you care about to do so. Sleep health is essential to our well being!

Nancy is joined by Dr. Michael J. Sateia, Chair of the Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, or APSS, also known as SLEEP 2009. This conference will take place from June 6 to 11 in Seattle, attracting sleep scientists and clinicians from around the world and will blend the most current sleep research with the best in clinical practices.

Why should this conference matter to the public? Sleep is essential to everyone’s lives. Sleep has a direct impact on our health, our productivity, our relationships and more. It is at this meeting that the latest advances in the field of sleep medicine and sleep research are presented, information and advances that can ultimately impact recommendations for quality sleep, as well as for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

Come hear about what’s up in the world of sleep.
