Episode 407: Overcoming Sleep Issues When You’re Living with MS with Dr. Katie Siengsukon


Getting a good night's sleep is something that benefits everyone. And if you're someone who's living with MS, it's perhaps even more important. But research suggests that more than half the people living with MS experience poor sleep.

Dr. Katie Siengsukon

Dr. Katie Siengsukon, the Director of the Sleep, Health, and Wellness Lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, returns to the podcast to discuss the importance of good sleep hygiene, along with steps you can take to improve the quality of your sleep.

We're also explaining how changes in U.S. public policy will impact people with MS.

We'll tell you about an algorithm developed at Duke University that can predict (with 80-90% accuracy!) whether someone's MS symptoms will worsen in the weeks ahead.

We'll share study results that show MS accelerates biological aging among children and teens with MS. We'll explain why this finding can also be applied to adults with MS, and what it means.

And we'll tell you about the biotech start-up that has succeeded at bringing the brains of people who have passed away back to life, and we'll explain why that can have a major impact on CNS disease research.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
