Patient/Listener
Hey Dr. Winter…have really enjoyed listening to your podcast on all things sleep after I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and PLMD by you. I have yet to find a doctor in NYC who takes the time to understand the individual plight of the patient like you do. I’ve learned a lot of things related to sleep, but largely PLMD as it is a bit harder to treat than OSA. I think people would love to learn about PLMD, as it is not easily detectable by the patient themself - it often is brought up by a partner who detects these movements. Treatments as well. I imagine there are many people who have a inkling that sleep may be the cause of some of their symptoms, but are unsure on where to start. It seems to be one of the more common sleep disorders, but often may not cause daytime symptoms if not causing many arousals and thus seems to be overlooked. It caused about 22 arousals/hr for me and I’m sure there are others who are deeply affected by it. I also think an episode on arousals (often unknown by the patient), due to PLMD, respiratory or spontaneous, would be well-received. Average arousals per night, what it means, how it differs by age group and possible things to alleviate spontaneous arousals (for example you mentioned not using your phone an hour before bed can decrease arousals). That is enough from me - again, thanks for being a great doctor and for the content you put out here!

Good info to be found, when you get to it. I’d really appreciate it if timestamps would be added to the show notes.
