SL👩🏻⚕️A Sleep Neurologist’s Take on @heathergordonmedia Viral Sleep Hack
-This sleep hack for waking up in the middle of the night got 11 million views and was mentioned by THE Andrew Huberman. I’ll share the full clip in my stories today.
-Does it work? Listen as I explain why it might work for some people👆
-I love it that she shared this as it’s so important to teach people tactics and tricks for not sleeping. However it’s probably an overstatement to say it works for 75% of people.
-If there is an underlying root cause like a circadian rhythm sleep wake disorder, conditioned arousal, or OSA this isn’t going to touch it.
-I have a hard time connecting this to EMDR or any neural pathway since we know the frontal eye fields which control volitonal eye movements go offline during sleep unless the mechanism is paradoxical intention.
-What do you think? Did you try this sleep hack and did it work for you?
