Greg shares insights from his research on caffeine's impact on sleep, revealing that coffee consumption, especially for slow caffeine metabolizers, can significantly affect sleep duration. Dr. Marcus also delves into the connection between interrupted sleep and AFib, highlighting the importance of addressing sleep quality for individuals with heart rhythm disorders. He emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to routinely inquire about sleep habits, especially in AFib patients, despite the lack of strong evidence linking sleep apnea treatment to AFib prevention.
