In this episode we were joined with Dr David Klyne. David is a research fellow at the University of Queensland focusing on understanding the physiology of pain and the complex mechanisms that drive its persistence. Sleep is one of the most important factors to our physical and mental well-being. David takes us through just what an important (and bidirectional) relationship there is between pain and sleep, and gives us some pragmatic tips on how to inquire about a patients sleep hygiene and practices, what good sleep does and doesn’t look like. Whether you are an MSK specialist or work in the Diabetes Centre, this is more important than you may think it is.
