Student Doctor and Sleep Professional

Title: Student Doctor and Sleep Professional

In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future, we sit down with Dr. Inja, a dual-trained adult and pediatric sleep medicine physician, to explore why sleep is one of the most undervalued pillars of health and what we can do about it.

During this episode we talk about what drew Dr. Inja to sleep medicine, the gaps in medical education around sleep, the most common sleep challenges facing modern families, how to tell normal developmental sleep patterns from warning signs, the evidence (and myths) around sleep training, practical tips for sleep-deprived parents, how sleep health shifts across the lifespan, burnout in caregivers and healthcare professionals, and why physicians sharing their full humanity on social media matters.

To learn more about Dr. Inja's work in sleep medicine and her efforts to educate both patients and medical professionals, you can follow her on social media, where she shares sleep health education and an authentic look at life as a physician, mom, and woman in NYC.
