Everything set up Mullins to settle so many big-picture issues from 35 feet. The year before Duke started winning national championships, Laettner had sunk another buzzer-beater to defeat Jim Calhoun’s UConn team in the Elite Eight. In the 35 seasons that followed, Duke and UConn won a combined 11 national titles.

Got to watch the game with my parents and younger son at a local restaurant. I’m going to be riding the high from this win all week. Go #Huskies! #MarchMadness

Clocks spring ahead March 8th. As a pediatric sleep physician, here’s what I tell parents: young kids who wake early will actually benefit — their 5:30 AM wake-up shifts to 6:30 without any effort.

Agree with @justkelly.bsky.social above. Afrin is a lifesaver for a few nights but you can’t use it longer than that. Also a big fan of NeilMed products. If you can tolerate it, using two of their salt packets will help clear your sinuses and open up your nasal passages.

Obviously, science is never that simple. But the authors of this editorial postulate that development of the hippocampus (a brain center associated with memory) may be associated with nap transitions

Conceptual diagram showing how brain development and sleep regulation influence nap transitions in children. Panel A illustrates nap transitions as the balance between homeostatic sleep regulation, environment and culture, and circadian sleep timing. Panel B depicts habitual versus non-habitual nappers: habitual nappers have immature hippocampal networks, high sleep pressure (slow-wave activity), and require naps to stabilize memories; non-habitual nappers show hippocampal maturation, lower sleep pressure, and can maintain memories without naps.

When we “fall back,” don’t waste the gift of an extra hour. Go to bed one hour earlier, wake up at your usual time, and keep the new schedule. That simple shift gives you an extra hour of sleep every night through fall and winter. #SleepTips #DaylightSavingTime

The clocks go back, and suddenly your toddler's up at 5 A.M. Go to bed later, keep mornings dark, and stay consistent. Most kids adjust in 3--5 days -- and you can thank Big Candy 🍬 and Big Golf ⛳ for the chaos. #SleepTips #DaylightSavingTime

Vacations sometimes mean breaking the sleep rules — like bedsharing with your preschooler. The trick? Call it a “special sleepover” and explain that it’s only for the trip. That way, you can make it magical now and get back to your routine later. #VacationSleep #ParentingTips

#Melatonin can help with #jetlag . It's also better to use it intermittently than every night.

Craig Canapari MD @drcraigcanapari.com · 19/03/2025

But remember: 1. Low doses often better than high doses 2. It is a tool to help BEHAVIORAL CHANGE take root-- not a substitute for better sleep hygiene #melatonin

I use melatonin sparingly in little kids. And I'm an expert. Please talk to your pediatrician before you try #melatonin in a little one.

Craig Canapari MD @drcraigcanapari.com · 10/03/2025

One study of over the counter melatonin preps in the US showed a huge range of variability. PMID: 27855744. This is because #melatonin is regulated a food supplement in the US.

Most kids shouldn't need #melatonin long term. Here are some things to consider with your pediatrician.

Craig Canapari MD @drcraigcanapari.com · 06/03/2025

Most kids should not need supplements or medications for sleep. If your child does, you still need to use behavioral methods to teach your child to sleep independently. And have a plan for coming off the supplement or medication ASAP #melatonin #magnesium

At night your pineal gland makes #melatonin from about an hour before you fall asleep until about an hour after you wake up in the mornings. A lot of parents don't realize that it is a hormone.

The risk of #melatonin overdose is very real, for multiple reasons. 1. The Gummification of medicine 2. Lack of child safety bottles 3. Appealing packaging 4. Widespread use

Craig Canapari MD @drcraigcanapari.com · 26/02/2025

Remember to keep these meds in a safe place, start low, and go slow. Talk to your child's pediatrician.

Like many of you, I'm having a rough week so I wore some of my favorite colorful socks to cheer myself up In the morning, a patients mom noted them and said that her son also likes fun socks At the end of the day she showed up at her other son's appointment and brought me these.

Two pairs of colorful socks. The one on the left shows palm trees in a sunset. The on on the right shows a donut giving a thumbs up with the caption “Donut worry be happy!”

So pleased to see Dr Mary Caskadon honored at the national Start School Later #SSLCon2024. Her work is absolutely foundational to our understanding of circadian biology and hypersomnia. She is specifically being honored for her contribution to the understanding of sleep in teens.
