Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Sleep Disorders and How They Adversely Affect Health

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

We commonly take sleep for granted. That is, until our sleep quantity or quality is compromised. This can result in both mental and physical health problems, including daytime fatigue and sleepiness. Sleep disorders are quite common and often undiagnosed, yet they can contribute to diabetes, cognitive impairment, and cardiovascular disease, potentially leading to premature mortality. Primary care clinicians play a major role in the identification and management of sleep disorders. What are the most common disorders we see in the outpatient setting? What are the presenting symptoms we should watch for? What tests should we do to establish a diagnosis and when should we refer patients we feel may have a sleep disorder? The topic for today’s podcast is sleep disorders, and these are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Bhanu Kolla, a psychiatrist and sleep medicine specialist from the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

This episode of Mayo Clinic Talks is the first of three podcasts celebrating a remarkable milestone in Mayo Clinic’s history – the 100th anniversary in April this year of our renowned journal, Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Proceedings first appeared in April 1926 and has been in continuous publication ever since. Many significant clinical breakthroughs, pioneered at Mayo Clinic, were first published in the journal, and today the journal brings primary care providers relevant, timely, and important papers on conditions and disorders that are frequently seen in the practice. A great deal of content in Mayo Clinic Proceedings is freely available for you to browse—just go to mayoclinicproceedings.org to incorporate this terrific resource in your library.
