There’s a NYT opinion piece today on Trump’s health that wonders why he is sleepy. It’s one of the great mysteries…

Providers raving about the electronic medical record app they can download to their personal cell phones is a level of dysfunctional personal-professional boundaries I cannot comprehend.

I can literally tell some people exactly how to cure their insomnia and they won’t do it.

Little known fact: in order to sleep normally, Neanderthals had to sleep on $5,000 mattresses.

The guys who kidnap preschoolers, shoot nurses in the street, and cart priests away in handcuffs are never the good guys.

Today marks 9 years (!) at Virginia Mason and last week I was promoted to the section head of sleep medicine. I am grateful for the opportunities I have.

When a 3-year-old plays in the car as you take the Christmas tree down from the roof, you may get to summon a $125 Lyft to work when the battery is dead 2 days later.

I’ve never met anyone who had insomnia because they were exercising too close to bedtime.

If your parenting app tells you to put your child down for a nap at noon, you need a new app.

I was thinking about the time on a flight that I responded to a call for a doctor. A man was choking and as I approached him I simply asked: “Are you okay?” He grunted, “Yes.” And I went and sat back down because I knew his airway was clear. I was a hero that day.

This is propaganda I just received. Remember the Republicans did this: when the hospital closes, when the nursing home closes, when children start starving, when immigrants are disappeared. It’s a moral outrage. Some of these major cuts are delayed. Vote them all out in the midterms.

Is there any more public psychiatric evaluation than the coffee stand?

An interesting sub-post that #SleepPeeps might enjoy following is that I was challenged by the infamous @matthorsnell.bsky.social to arm wrestle at #SLEEP2025. And as someone that never does anything half a$$ed, i can assure you that i plan to make it an absolute spectacle. 💤💪

Welcome to Day 2 of my free-ranging sharing (is it a skeetorial?) on all things sleep as I attend #SLEEP2025. Mostly I will continue to skeet what I learn or find interesting, and occasionally I'll add commentary or additional content. It keeps me engaged.

Sleep duration in middle childhood in girls predicts age at menarche (shorter, earlier = bad). #SLEEP2025

Until you give the older insomnia patient a sleep study to exclude the contribution of sleep apnea, I don't want to hear that there is risk associated with the use of certain medications. #SLEEP2025 #insomnia #sleepapnea

Side effects to tirzepatide tend to be nausea and related gastrointestinal issues. 3% risk of serious vomiting, etc. at highest dose. These can attenuate with time. #SLEEP2025 #tirzepatide #sleepapnea

Brandon Peters, M.D. @brandonpetersmd.com · 07/06/2025

It looks like 20-30% of people may experience a reduction of the AHI to <5 (normal breathing) with tirzepatide, but treatment must be sustained to avoid weight gain. #SLEEP2025 #sleepapnea #tirzepatide #Zepbound

010

Brandon Peters, M.D. @brandonpetersmd.com · 07/06/2025

Research shows 60-70% of patients treated with tirzepatide for 1 year will have >50% reduction in AHI. This is treatment, not cure, and further treatment may be warranted. #SLEEP2025 #sleepapnea #tirzepatide #zepbound

Here's my article on the use of Zepbound in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. It refers to pros/cons, side effects, and the results of the trials and links out to relevant info. www.brandonpetersmd.com/brandons-blo... #SLEEP2025 #sleepapnea #sleep #zepbound #tirzepatide

By excluding people with diabetes, the SURMOUNT-OSA trial has given insurers an out for coverage: they say people with diabetes were not studied and use in this population is experimental. @elilillyandcompany.bsky.social We need to fix this! #sleep2025

If CPAP does not benefit the long-term risks associated with sleep apnea, are there better ways to address underlying causes? #sleep2025 #sleepapnea #sleep

Brandon Peters, M.D. @brandonpetersmd.com · 07/06/2025

CPAP adherence may approach 87% with patient engagement (based on 1 million people). Another study 75% with 2 million users. Another 74% in US; 80% at 1 year meet CMS criteria. #sleep2025 #sleepapnea #CPAP

It took me about 30 seconds after getting my badge to spot my mentor, Dr. Con Iber, from the University of Minnesota chatting with Dr. Michel Bornemann. Sleep is a small community and it's wonderful to run into so many colleagues each year! #SLEEP2025 #sleeppeeps

I’m not sure where my book is printed these days, but its price hasn’t increased in 5 years since it was first published. It’s kind of an inflation-proof miracle. #SleepThroughInsomnia
