"It's Time We Step It Up"

Like many ordinary 12-year-olds, Anna Palmieri had an exciting summer full of family trips, camps, sleepovers with friends, and long, restful nights of sleep. She says it was the best summer she’s ever had, and not the least bit like any she’d known before. That’s because for her first 11 years she had suffered from debilitating nighttime seizures caused by epilepsy, and her parents had to monitor their daughter all night, every night – no sleepovers allowed. Today, thanks to Dr. Caitlin Hoffman, Dr. Theodore Schwartz, and the pediatric epilepsy team at Weill Cornell Medicine, the Palmieri family can finally lead a normal life filled with camping, slumber parties, and uneventful bedtimes.

Tips For Better Sleep During Summer Months

“When you wake up in the morning, the idea is to get sunlight as soon as you can,” says Dr. Daniel Barone, Associate Medical Director of the Center for Sleep Medicine and Associate Professor of Clinical Neurology at Weill Cornell Medicine. “So open those shades right away or even go outside. The morning sunlight tells us this is the time to be awake, and when the sun goes down it’s time to start winding down and prepare to sleep.
