Summary
Does your sleep schedule need help? Brandon Dreiman from ProTeam Wellness joins hosts Jim Burneka and Nick Magoteaux to discuss sleep wellness for episode 20 of We Can't Believe They Gave Us a Show. During their discussion, they break down practical, evidence‑based sleep strategies for first responders. They cover how common sedatives and sleep aids affect REM and deep sleep, the promise of dual orexin receptor antagonist (aka DORA) drugs, and where CBD fits into the scenario. Dreiman shares his expertise on sleep challenges faced by first responders, discusses sleep architecture, and shares recommendations for alternative therapies like cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia.
