MY NAME IS...

About

I believe in science, medical knowledge and human beings as holistic beings in equal measures.  German UK resident. And I believe in your resilience to see through what you need to get through. 

The question I keep getting over again: is my physician equipped to handle my sleep issues? 

It feels a little "meh" to tell you that I am uncovering for you what the medical society has to say about sleep disorders, but have to convey how I can help. Just check out the products section to understand what is I do. How to get to a diagnosis, what the actual treatment options are, etc. is one thing but by the end of the day you need to be looked at not only through the lense of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and what the actual options are that are rarely discussed in public. 

For your analytical needs, let's  focus on what the potential disruptors may be. Behavioural issues around sleep may or may not be as relevant as what is going on in your body.  Maybe your 24h sleep/wake cycle needs to be respected more or, if required, amended. This is just a fragment of what to consider. 

Here's the good news. The medical society knows so much than we as the public get to hear about. We are looking at decades of studies or simple assumptions being made where we don't have yet enough evidence to prove a point. Had I known what I know now, I would not have ended up in psychiatric facilities twice because of my own sleeplessness. 

What I do want to emphasize though is this. In the future I want you to be seen as the holistic being that you are. Beyond on what I can deliver (medical, psychological, neurological, etc. research) there is another layer of energy we need to understand better. More on this to follow for you. 

For now, let's work with what we can to at least get you through the medical and psychological side of things. 

Oh, and I get to have the right conversations on so many occasions as follows. 

  • Talks at the London sleep show
  • The book "What Sleep Wants" (formerly known as "Your Nights' Architecture") is coming out soon
  • A 33-pager synopsis is already available, ping me
  • Corporate work
  • Features, articles, press contributions

While we are at it, BBC radio and I keep having fun.

The Obstructive Sleep Apnea button will also provide you with a recap of a few further details.
