So important for restless legs syndrome! We do PO or IV if ferritin is less than 75, and some times 100. Iron studies do not effectively measure brain levels.
@LukeKaven
Yes, you are absolutely correct. My initial tweet should really have read since COVID vaccine. Essentially my point was that not everything cardiac is secondary to the vaccine.
@SenMarkey
By robbing millions of morning light exposure you will worsen rates of mental health disorders, insomnia, and motor vehicle accidents. There is no reason to do this unless you value profit over health.

While not the topic of the talk, no one should be forced to listen to someone who does not value their autonomy. As faculty here I commend these students, and hope to have the opportunity to work with them.
If the anti - science charlatans get what they want, today may be the last time (barring summer) that you wake up and see the sun. Imagine waking up in darkness everyday just so some people in Florida can have more time to golf.

we are planning on restarting The Whitenoise Podcast after a two year COVID hiatus. If you are interested in coming on and discussing sleep or have recommendations for speakers/topics please let us know. Thanks!
@DrHarryThomas
The toxicity is horrible, unfortunately it is learned behavior, residents and medical students see many attendings do it so they think it is OK. We are a team, and everyone should be treated equally with dignity and respect.
@AndrewGutwein
Don’t worry. He rejected me for an open PGY2 spot a long time ago (lower step 2 score). Was the best thing that happened to me. Ended up being chief resident, and now
@umichmedicine
faculty.
For those complaining that the UM Med students are going to “walk out in patients”. Doctors need to treat everyone, they have no obligation to listen to anyone in a non-medical setting.
Good luck to all incoming
#interns
. Some words of advice.
#MedTwitter
#medicaleducation
1. Listen to the
#nurses
2. If you don’t know something ask.
3. Don’t stay in the hospital longer than needed.
4. Make time for yourself/family
5. Listen to the nurses
Deleted recent tween regarding SCD, due to it being easily taken out of context. Was meant to be absurd to highlight absurdity of anti-vax stances. However sarcasm doesn’t work, and tweets have minds of their own, and this one would end up doing more harm.
This is definitely not how you treat jet lag. Please see a
#sleep
specialist if you need help synchronizing your circadian rhythm to a different time zone.
My father Dr. Raj Dutt passed away 24 years ago today. Every year my family in India and the charitable hospital that he helped found perform Langar in his honor.

to all the female editors and authors that make PPSM and the Atlas such incredible sleep resources and a huge 🙏 thank you to
@mhkryger
who has consistently mentored and lifted up countless women in the sleep field.
One other point about the Senate process of Indiana SB1:
As
@SenatorYoder
pointed out in her testimony yesterday
84% of the Senate is men
None of the women in the Senate are of child-bearing age
So this bill was debated by NO ONE who would be affected by it
My first day at

, I was so excited to see
#SleepPeeps
after two years…and I fell asleep at 8pm. Let’s try this again, looking forward to all the great lectures today.
CVS Caremark denied Xywav for cataplexy in narcolepsy saying the patient didn't have enough cataplexy to qualify (14 events per 14 days). This is 100% arbitrary. You think it's ok to have 13 episodes of cataplexy in 14 days?!
@JazzPharma
Four years ago I had suicidal ideation due to repeated sleep deprivation. I was a resident working long hours, including 28-hour calls.
Sleep deprivation is an independent risk factor for suicide. Any discussion about resident wellness is wholly inadequate if it excludes sleep.
Dear Pharmacy reviewer. Please do not tell me to try melatonin or CBTi for management of
#insomnia
. I only prescribe if CBTi has failed, and AASM guidelines do not recommend use of melatonin for management of insomnia.
Dr. Dutt part III. So proud of this one! Congrats to the entire 2026
@umnmedschool
class, best of luck on your journey. Your oath was particularly inspiring.
#MedEd
I had to tell a patient today that just because I am Indian doesn’t mean that I had an arranged marriage. He also asked if my wife was Indian, and was taken a back when I said no.

Croup is no joke this year. 4yo just got back from

s/p decadron, and two rounds of albuterol and racemic epi. Waiting room sounded like a chorus of barking seals. ED was packed. Please vaccinate and wear masks to reduce burden.
The socioeconomically vulnerable are more sensitive to inadequate sleep. Delayed school start times is one way we can increase

Wrapping up

today! Has been great catching up with

for the fried chicken sandwiches. What has been everyones favorite lecture so far?

Have three hours before the
@UMichFootball
game, so wanted to pose this question. What are the books that you couldn’t stop thinking about after you finished reading them?
Mine are A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry and 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.
So I forgot to take my contacts out last night, put another pair in this morning, and then drove (with great difficulty) in to clinic. So this day is off to a cracking start. Just another reminder of why
#sleep
is so important.
Sure let’s compare social jet lag to a potentially deadly disorder which is difficult to treat because individuals who have it are often times too ashamed to talk about it.
