Ever wondered if your headaches could have something to do with how well (or poorly) you sleep? In this episode, host Adam Flaherty shares his experience being diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, being prescribed a CPAP, and how it's impacted his life. He's then joined by Dr. Alison Kole, (also known as the Sleep MD), a physician specializing in sleep medicine. Dr. Kole breaks down the fascinating link between sleep quality and chronic headaches and migraines.

Here’s what you’ll learn about in this episode:

• Dr. Kole’s top three pillars for optimal sleep health—consistency, duration, and quality
• Surprising ways poor sleep quality (not just how many hours you get) can impact headaches and overall wellbeing
• Common but often undiagnosed sleep disorders and why they matter for headache sufferers
• The modern world of sleep studies and testing
• What’s actually happening when your airway closes while you're asleep
• Alternative options to CPAP and the rapidly evolving landscape of sleep treatment technology
• Why getting your sleep checked is easier, less invasive, and more beneficial than most people think
