Sleep disorders
Sometimes sleep can be elusive as we age. It can be more difficult to fall asleep and stay there. Kelly Link is a member of the Virginia Academy of Sleep Medicine and a Family Nurse Practitioner at the Lewis Gale Sleep Lab. There they help patients tackle all types of sleep disorders.
The National Institutes of Health estimates between 50 to 70 million U.S. adults have a sleep disorder. There are six types of sleep disorders: Lack of sleep or insomnia, snoring or sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorder, movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome, Parasomnias include sleepwalking and talking, and too much sleep for example narcolepsy.
Kelly Link explains these conditions in this edition of Sisterhood of the Second Act.

Good dental hygiene is instrumental in maintaining a healthy body. Taking care of your teeth can prevent heart disease, high blood pressure and lessen symptoms of arthritis and other auto-immune diseases.
Dr. Wallace tells us why oral hygiene impacts our health and how the medications we take can influence the type of treatments we can receive in our second interview on this Sisterhood of the Second Act.
