Robert Whitfield MD says sleep is the foundation of health, not a luxury. He debunks the myth that elite performers thrive on four hours and warns that undiagnosed sleep apnea in women, which often happens without snoring, increases Alzheimer's risk and shortens lifespan.
So if you listen to the famous people or anybody tell you that they only sleep four hours a night, they're all full of shit.
So what are some of the key tools of treatments that you use to help women detox after and heal?
Yeah, it all starts before we start behavioral modification. You got to sleep better. Number one first priority is sleep. So if you listen to the famous people or anybody tell you that they only sleep four hours a night, they're all full of shit.
Oh, that is the biggest. Like I.
Can tell you because I've been sleep deprived for many, many years. That's not a mechanism for success and it's not a health span. Lifespan improvement.
No bueno on longevity on that one, folks.
So sleep prioritization is number one thing. And in women, one of the leading causes of Alzheimer's is sleep apnea. So if you're interested in your brain health, which we all should be, get tested for sleep apnea because you want. And women notoriously don't snore. They just don't. And they have sleep apnea. If you sleep better, you 100% will have a better life.
