MIND's Dr. Belkin recently took the time to speak to Everyday Health about multiple sclerosis and sleep: “People with MS could have pain. They could have bladder issues. There’s a higher incidence of restless leg–type symptoms or restless leg syndrome, and that affects sleep in and of itself. So if you’re overheated, all those symptoms are going to be heightened, and that’s going to impact sleep potentially significantly,” explains Martin I. Belkin, DO, a neurologist at the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders in the Detroit metro area. How can you stay cool while getting some shut-eye? Dr. Belkin recommends sleeping in an air-conditioned environment and staying hydrated, as well as using cooling devices like neck wraps and cooling vests. And if you don’t have traditional air-conditioning, he adds, using a fan can help. But when it comes to preventing heat from hampering your sleep, Belkin advises addressing underlying MS symptoms that can be worsened by heat. “The key is treating a lot of those underlying symptoms — making sure the pain is adequately treated, that coexisting restless leg syndrome or other sleep disorders are being treated, and that the bladder dysfunction is being treated. If you can treat those underlying symptoms that are worsened by the heat, then you can get better sleep,” he says. Read more: https://bit.ly/3mntxFH #MINDphysicians #ms #sleep #multiplesclerosis
