#176 - Media and Insomnia: It’s So Hard To Tell From Just A Magazine

Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

The media can be a fantastic source of information about insomnia, or it can be a lens that distorts and confuses the issue. In this episode we will:

• Contrast to contemporary insomnia articles from popular media
• Understand the difference between causation and relationships
• Learn how the use to percentages can distort the scale of an effect
• Read how media frequently confuses "sleep deprivation" and "insomnia"
• Evaluate an example of how media can positively educate and help readers understand insomnia better
