Dr. Dylan Petkus came to the topic of sleep research fourteen years ago through his own struggle with sleep. After his sleep fell apart, as he describes it, he did “me-search” to try to understand more about sleep. That led him to where he is today. Dr. Petkus works with sleep apnea but also with people who have autoimmune disorders, Hashimoto’s, or other issues that affect sleep. He talks about all the things that can affect sleep, like snoring, and how they occur. Inflammation in airways, tongue position, bad breathing patterns, and other issues. But what can be done? Surgery is an option but not a cure, and more of a last resort at best. Dr. Petkus lays out all the other factors we can work on to improve our sleep patterns: breathing mechanics, circadian rhythms, nervous system regulation, and environmental factors. There is so much fascinating and useful information here about why we snore, why we struggle with sleep, and what to do about it. I hope you find this conversation as fruitful as I did.
