  • Quality Over Quantity: How Poor Sleep Impacts Your Mental and Physical Health
    Jul 11 2024

    Welcome back to a Safe Place to Land!

    Today, Emily interviews Dr. Barry Krakow, a specialist in Sleep Medicine with expertise in mental health and sleep quality. Dr. Krakow discusses his research emphasizing that sleep quality outweighs sleep quantity, directly impacting both mental and physical well-being. Specifically, he explores how nasal breathing influences sleep depth and methods to enhance sleep quality. Dr. Krakow's findings reveal a link between poor sleep and various medical conditions like anxiety, depression, and more, as detailed in his book "Life-Saving Sleep: New Horizons in Mental Health Treatment." He stresses the importance of mental health professionals being trained in Sleep Medicine to ensure clients are screened for optimal sleep quality, given the significant correlation between sleep and mental health issues.



    Barry Krakow, MD is a board certified sleep medicine specialist practicing in Savannah, Georgia following a 30 year career conducting research and treating mental health patients with sleep disorders. He developed and pioneered several advanced methods for the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, and sleep apnea, published these findings in top scientific journals, and proved conclusively the necessity to diligently address (without medication) sleep complaints in those suffering anxiety, depression, PTSD and more. His new book, Life Saving Sleep New Horizons in Mental Health treatment offers a mind-body approach to the art and science of sleep medicine with special emphasis on the relationships between sleep physiology and sleep-related emotion-focused therapy.

    His new practice involves an innovative sleep health coaching program, accessed at www.barrykrakowmd.com, and you can follow his free Substack newsletter on sleep research updates at www.fastasleep.substack.com. Currently, as Director of Sleep Medicine Services at Gateway Behavioral Health, a full-scale application of sleep medicine interventions will be integrated didactically and clinically into the existing psychiatry residency program to become a core component of training and utilization.
