Unlock the mysteries of sleep as we welcome the brilliant Dr. Simmons back to the show. Together, we'll navigate the nocturnal nuances of sleep stages, unpack the perils of positional sleep apnea, and delve into the impact gravity has on airway obstruction.

Prepare to have your perspectives on sleep disorders and overall health challenged in this episode. Dr. Simmons enlightens us on the intricate dance between sleep apnea and GERD, the bidirectional relationship with asthma, and the true significance of ferritin levels in restless leg syndrome. This conversation is a revelation for those seeking to understand the complex interplay between various health conditions and their sleep, offering groundbreaking insights and studies that illuminate these connections.
Our exploration culminates in a practical discussion on the use of melatonin, as we consider the importance of determining underlying causes of sleep issues before resorting to supplements.
