Rethinking Health: What Your Sleep Knows Before You Do
Sleep is the one thing all of us have to do, and the one thing almost none of us do well. We spend a third of our lives at it; it shapes our mood, our focus, and our long-term health. And yet most of us are running on too little, or on sleep that isn't doing its job.
Dr. Angelo Sadeghpour spends his days in the part of sleep that gets talked about least, where rest, anxiety, and mood tangle together. In this talk, he reveals what your nights are quietly telling you about your mind, often long before you, or anyone around you, would notice. This isn't the usual "get eight hours" advice. You'll leave with two or three things you can actually use to build a more vital self.
The talk includes a live AMA (“ask me anything”) with a practicing psychiatrist, plus a frank look at:
The sentinel signs of depression, anxiety, and paranoia that surface in sleep first
How accurate sleep wearables really are
Bedtime procrastination: why putting off sleep is a psychological trap, not a willpower problem, and how to break it
A few great sleep meds that aren't addictive and that your PCP probably doesn't know about
Neuromodulation techniques, no meds and no therapy, that actually have the data to back them up
It may be the most awake you'll feel thinking about sleep.
Dr. Angelo Sadeghpour is a physician-scientist trained at Harvard Medical School and MIT, and a board-certified integrative psychiatrist with two decades at the intersection of cutting-edge brain science and real patient care. His MIT research helped create a biotech developing treatments for many psychiatric conditions on the West Coast, but his focus has always been the same: helping people think clearly, feel like themselves, and live with ease. In his Miami practice, where he treats students, professionals, and even a few well-known names, he prescribes medication when it's truly helpful, aimed first at the root cause, and blends it with therapy, holistic treatments including supplements, neuromodulation, and lifestyle medicine, because real change goes "beyond the pill."
