Narcolepsy Treatment Is Changing: Orexin Drugs + Sleep Strategies
2w ago00:15:16Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailS6 E137 Narcolepsy Treatment Is Changing: Orexin Drugs + Sleep StrategiesNarcolepsy treatment may be entering a new era. In this episode of Sleep Takeout, Dan and Michelle explore how new orexin-targeted medications could change the treatment of narcolepsy type 1 by addressing the underlying orexin, also called hypocretin, deficiency rather than managing each symptom separately.They explain what narcolepsy is, why it disrupts both daytime alertness and nighttime sleep, and how symptoms may include excessive daytime sleepiness, fragmented nighttime sleep, vivid dreams, hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and cataplexy. Narcolepsy type 1 is associated with low orexin levels and includes cataplexy, while narcolepsy type 2 typically occurs without cataplexy.Dan and Michelle also discuss orexin receptor agonists, an emerging class of narcolepsy medications designed to restore orexin signaling in the brain’s sleep-wake system. The episode highlights oveporexton, formerly TAK-861, an investigational oral orexin receptor 2 agonist being studied for narcolepsy type 1. Clinical trials have examined its effects on excessive daytime sleepiness, wakefulness, cataplexy, nighttime awakenings, and other symptoms.They also review earlier research involving danavorexton, formerly TAK-925, an intravenous orexin receptor 2 agonist studied for its wake-promoting effects in people with narcolepsy type 1 and narcolepsy type 2.Medication is only one part of narcolepsy management. This conversation also covers practical behavioral strategies that may help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning, including:• Brief, strategically scheduled naps• A consistent bedtime and wake time• Reducing stimulation before bedtime• Cognitive behavioral therapy for narcolepsy• Responding differently to discouraging thoughts about symptoms• Avoiding heavy meals and large amounts of sugar when they worsen daytime alertness• Working with a sleep medicine specialist to develop an individualized treatment planWhether you live with narcolepsy, support someone who does, or want to understand the future of sleep medicine, this episode offers an accessible look at narcolepsy symptoms, orexin medications, cataplexy treatment, CBT, strategic naps, nutrition, and emerging research.Chapters00:00 Remote Recording and Behind-the-Scenes Banter00:19 The Future of Narcolepsy Treatment02:31 What Is Narcolepsy?03:26 Cataplexy, Sleep Paralysis and Hallucinations05:30 How Orexin-Targeted Drugs Work06:03 Oveporexton, TAK-861 and the Takeda Pipeline07:54 Behavioral Treatment for Narcolepsy08:30 Strategic Naps and a Consistent Sleep Schedule11:19 CBT for Narcolepsy and Managing Discouraging Thoughts12:41 Diet Tips for Daytime Alertness13:55 Key Takeaways and Final ThoughtsDisclaimerThis podcast is intended for educational purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Transcribe →How to Beat Jet Lag in the Land of the Midnight Sun
4w ago00:34:06Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailS6 E135 - How to Beat Jet Lag in the Land of the Midnight SunDan and Michelle discuss how traveling across time zones to northern destinations with very long summer daylight (e.g., Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Scandinavia) can disrupt circadian rhythm cues and worsen jet lag. They explain that the brain relies heavily on light, not clocks, to set alertness and sleepiness, and offer practical tips: immediately shift to destination time for meals, caffeine, naps, and sleep; consider travel direction (east vs. west) and use daylight/darkness strategically; “create your own sunset” by reducing light 1–2 hours before bed; pack darkness tools like an eye mask and curtain clips; keep naps short (about 20–30 minutes); stop caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime and avoid using alcohol for sleep; build sleep pressure with daytime activity; use melatonin thoughtfully as a timing cue with medical guidance; and don’t catastrophize one imperfect night—aim for progress, not perfection.00:00 Midnight Sun Jet Lag02:27 Circadian Clock Basics06:05 Tip 1 Destination Time09:58 Tip 2 Travel Direction12:52 Tip 3 Create Sunset17:49 Tip 4 Pack Darkness19:43 Tip 5 Nap Smart22:27 Tip 6 Caffeine Alcohol24:10 Tip 7 Build Sleep Pressure26:22 Tip 8 Melatonin Timing28:08 Tip 9 No Catastrophizing30:06 Simple Travel Sleep Plan31:37 Wrap Up And Resources✨ Real rest isn’t just about falling asleep, it’s about feeling at ease again.

Jun 200:20:26Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailS6 E133 - On today's episode Dr Zetoony is solo and recording an episode about where to start with sleep restriction therapy (SRT). This is a tool often used to improve sleep efficiency (how much of the time that you are in bed is spent with sleeping). Many people spend too much time "hoping" that sleep will come and SRT is the way sleep specialists will use to try to optimize the time in bed and have the patient build up the sleep pressure required for more continuous sleep.If you haven't checked us out on YOUTUBE, please go there so you can see the video link of this episode.Have a question?

May 2700:14:30Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailS6 E132 - Can’t Sleep? Try This Meditation for Insomnia & Racing ThoughtsCan’t sleep? If you’re lying awake at night with racing thoughts, sleep anxiety, frustration, or middle-of-the-night wake-ups, this guided meditation for insomnia is designed to help you stop fighting sleep and relate to wakefulness with more calm, mindfulness, and self-compassion.In this episode of Sleep Takeout, clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Baughn guides you through a gentle Leaves on a Stream meditation adapted specifically for insomnia, nighttime anxiety, and difficulty falling back asleep. Rather than trying to force sleep, empty your mind, or “make yourself relax,” this practice helps you notice sleep-related thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment — and then gently return your attention to the image of leaves floating down a stream.This meditation may be especially helpful if you struggle with:Difficulty falling asleepWaking up in the middle of the nightEarly morning awakeningsRacing thoughts at bedtimeSleep anxietyFear of not sleepingFrustration about being awakeChecking the clockWorrying about tomorrowFeeling tense, restless, or alert in bedInsomnia-related body sensationsOverthinking at nightTrying too hard to sleepThis practice is rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, anxiety treatment, and principles often used alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, also known as CBT-I. The goal is not to force sleep to happen. The goal is to soften the struggle with wakefulness, notice thoughts and sensations more gently, and give your mind something steady and compassionate to return to. If you are awake at 2 AM, 3 AM, or 4 AM wondering, “Why can’t I sleep?” or “How do I calm my racing thoughts at night?” this episode can help you practice a different response: noticing, allowing, and returning. Use this guided sleep meditation when you are lying in bed, during a nighttime awakening, before sleep, or anytime you want to practice letting go of anxious thoughts about sleep.In this episode, you’ll practice:Mindfulness for insomniaA Leaves on a Stream meditationLetting go of racing thoughtsNoticing sleep anxiety without judgmentResponding kindly to nighttime wakefulnessBecoming aware of body sensations without fighting themReturning attention gently when the mind wandersReducing the struggle around being awakeThis episode is not about perfect sleep.
