Which matters more, the length of sleep or its quality? How does sleep deprivation intensify pain? And in what ways can sleep support those with mental health? In this episode, we go beyond the headlines to explore the science of sleep and bust some of the most common myths.

Osteopath George Michael and respiratory & sleep medicine physician Dr Nick Antoniades join osteopath Beth Yule for a fascinating conversation about the hidden connections between sleep, the nervous system and musculoskeletal health.

Together, they unpack what practitioners should be asking patients who struggle with sleep apnoea, insomnia, or poor sleep hygiene, and why sleep is often the missing piece in managing pain and wellbeing.

George Michael and Dr Nick Antoniades appeared on Osteo Talk thanks to Osteopathy Australia’s partner, Dr Rest. Osteopathy Australia extends its gratitude to Dr Rest for their ongoing support, especially during this month, as they proudly celebrate their 3rd birthday. 

Osteopathy Australia extends their appreciation to George Michael, Nick Antoniades and Beth Yule for generously sharing their time and insights with Osteo Talk and for their valued contributions to the osteopathic profession.
