In Episode 24 of Dr. Dave On Call, we discuss sleep and COVID-19 with sleep specialist, Dr. Beth Malow, Director of the Vanderbilt University Sleep Division.

Many individuals suffer from sleep disturbances. Sleep is critical to physical health, our immune system and a key promotor for our emotional and mental health. Adequate sleep can help combat stress, depression and anxiety.

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a "perfect storm" to cause sleep disturbances. Our routines have been disrupted, increase in anxiety/worry, depression, isolation, combined with greater family and work stress. Not to mention all of the excess screen time.

We are privileged to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and how it is affecting our sleep with Dr. Beth Malow, who is a Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She is also the Director of the Vanderbilt Sleep Division and has tremendous experience treating both children and adults with sleep disorders.
