Mixing Melatonin and Alcohol: A Risky Sleep Combination
Dr. Chelsie warns that mixing melatonin with alcohol can cause "excessive grogginess" and disrupt sleep cycles. Alcohol, a depressant, combined with melatonin, may lead to poor sleep quality. She advises avoiding alcohol 4-5 hours before taking melatonin to minimize negative effects on sleep. -
Sleep Apnea: A Hidden Contributor to High Blood Pressure
Dr. Chelsie explains that sleep apnea, especially obstructive type, causes oxygen deprivation, triggering the sympathetic nervous system and elevating blood pressure. "Treating your sleep apnea early reduces this risk significantly." Symptoms include daytime sleepiness and snoring. Dr. Chelsie advises consulting a doctor if you have high blood pressure or suspect sleep apnea. -
Scandinavian Sleep Method: A Solution for Restless Couples
Dr. Chelsie recommends the Scandinavian sleep method for couples facing sleep disturbances. "This method works by using two sets of bedding, one per person," reducing heating issues and blanket stealing. She advises choosing natural fiber duvets for warmth and airflow, with sizing based on bed size—typically two twin duvets for a queen bed.
