#134 - Sleep in Times of Catastrophe: Burn Out The Night

  • Summary

  • While the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires continue to burn in California, firefighters and other first responders work tirelessly around the clock. What does their ability to bypass sleep for 48-60 hours mean in terms of individuals with insomnia, and what does this kind of work do to their own health? In this episode, we will:

    • Frame the ability to temporarily derive ourselves of sleep as being a powerful tool and not necessarily a sign that sleep is bad or broken
    • Examine the sleep of first responders, in particular firefighters
    • Touch upon that vast number of firefighters with undiagnosed sleep disorders
    • Think about the role sleep schedules play in their sleep and health
