Charting is neutral.

It's because we can each have different thoughts about it.

It restores a certain amount of agency and empowerment so that you can choose how you want to take that next step in your life. Join me in this episode as we take a moment and think about how you can finish your charting at work.

Finishing that charting at work involves achieving a level of charting mastery. It's not about getting to a level where you say, "I am a super user." It's about getting to a point where you can finish work at work, go home to be present with family and friends, and pursue other interests outside work. All those priorities are intentional and have the margin of what matters to you. Learn more in this episode.

Clinical medicine is filled with a variety of situations, often ones that many of us experience as stressful.

The moments may come from failing to meet your patients' expectations, advancing your medical career, or the desire to give and maintain quality service delivery. We should ensure that workplaces are sustainable places to work and live and go home to enjoy with our family.

Whether your thoughts are holding you back or pushing you forward, sit back and reflect on the feelings you will need to keep you energized. Take the actions and get the desired results for your life, clinical practice, or patients. Once you are done with that, you need to single out the thought patterns you need to embrace. How will you show up and keep reminding yourself of that? What choices will you make?

We all have thoughts about what we want our future to look like.

From childhood, we have had dreams of what we want to be and an ideal future that we hope to bring to reality. Maybe it was getting into a given specialty, a particular job, or getting into dating. It could be anything, but it required taking action to move forward.

It is all about pursuing the desired future feeling. Our future starts with a thought of where we're and where we want to be.

Going out there and putting on our future identity will help us to make progress and ultimately get there. Be who you say you are, what you want to be, and it will help you pursue actions that lead you to the results that you are looking for.

Join the conversation with your host Dr. Ryan Stegink as he shares more about how your future and changing the future of medicine starts with a thought.

Sleep deprivation is detrimental to physical health, mental health, and learning, but it's harder to notice. It can affect your creativity and thinking skills. The best way to know if you are not getting enough sleep is to look at a time when you should have peak awareness.

If you feel like you are tired, yawning, or need a cup of coffee to function, that is a good indicator that you are not getting enough sleep. Becoming self-aware of what sleep deprivation looks likes for you can help you advocate and correct it. Everybody sleeps, and everyone needs sleep, and the more you are able to advocate for yourself, the more other people understand that they are not alone in their struggles.

Join the conversation with Dr. Audrey Wells as we discuss the importance of sleep and how we can take control of our sleep to feel more awake and improve our mental wellness and productivity.

During this episode, you will learn about;

[00:00] Introduction to the show

[02:07] A bit about our guest today, Dr. Audrey Wells

[02:40] Dr. well's career background and her journey in medicine

[04:29] What inspired Dr. Well into sleep medicine

[06:50] When Dr. Well realized that he was sleep sensitive

[10:21] Signs that show you are sleep deprived and need to take action

[11:19] The difference between sleep deprivation and being drunk

[14:55] One way to know if you are getting enough sleep

[16:09] Steps to take when you realize you have sleep problems

[19:19] A practical tip on how to take control of your sleep

[19:47] How screens compete with our sleep

[24:12] Self-awareness and putting limits on technology to give your brain some space

[25:41] Net gain loss: The impact of sleep on creativity and productivity

[29:12] Dr, Wells's message to her younger self and anyone starting out

[31:46] Ending the show and call to action

• One night of sleep loss is about the same as being drunk, having an alcohol level of 0.8 to 0.1
• The brain likes a consistent wake-up time over a consistent bedtime, so consider what time you wake up and work backward.
• If you have irregular sleep schedules because of work obligations, focus on light exposure to help you sleep and be awake when you want
• Even the dim light and the night-time settings you can engage on your screen are not significant when reducing the impact on sleep.
• The more we engage with screens, the less we sit down with our minds and are mindful of our thoughts.
• Compressing your sleep makes things that you have to do more difficult and takes longer to achieve
