Summary
Dr. Greg Burek, a psychiatrist and former marine, joins this episode of We Can't Believe They Gave Us a Show. Hosts Jim Burneka and Nick Magoteaux invite Burek to unpack why sleep is such a central problem for veterans and first responders—and how the BRAVE Program, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, treats it. Burek explains why common fixes often fail or worsen symptoms, and how targeted, flexible clonidine dosing can “turn the volume down” on adrenaline, restore sleep architecture, and jump‑start recovery.
