THOSE STORIES AND MORE ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

>> ARIZONA HORIZON MADE POSSIBLE BY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE FRIENDS OF ARIZONA PBS, MEMBERS OF YOUR PUBLIC TELEVISION STATION.

>> Ted: GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THE CITY OF PHOENIX IS DRAFTING WHAT IT CALLS A TRANSPARENCY PLAN TO PROTECT THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF RESIDENTS DURING IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT CRACKDOWNS.

FOR MORE ON THAT AND OTHER ISSUES FACING THE CITY WE SPOKE EARLIER TODAY WITH PHOENIX MAYOR KATE GALLEGO.

MAYOR GALLEGO, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

>> Ted: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LET'S TALK ABOUT -- THERE'S A VARIETY OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT, ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ICE PLAN, STILL IN THE DRAFT PROCESS?

>> YES, WE JUST STARTED OUR COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS.

>> Ted: WHAT DOES THIS -- WHAT ARE THE IDEAS HERE?

WHAT'S THE PLAN, WHAT'S THE GOAL AS FAR AS DEALING WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES?

>> SO WE'RE DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING FROM FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

WE'RE CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT TRAINING AND THAT THERE ARE VERY REAL CIVIL RIGHTS ABUSES SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE LEARN FROM OTHER CITIES AS WELL AS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT WE'RE READY TO RESPOND AND KEEP THE COMMUNITY AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.

>> Ted: I SEE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH ACCESS TO ACCURATE INFORMATION.

HOW WOULD YOU GO ABOUT DOING THAT?

>> SO, PART OF IT IS KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS AND TRANSPARENCY IN THAT AREA.

WE'RE ALSO SEEING A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR BUSINESSES UNDERSTAND THAT.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE VISA SYSTEM HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY AND SOME OF OUR INDIVIDUALS WHO CAME TO THE COMMUNITY AS REFUGEES FINDING THEIR EMPLOYERS ARE CONFUSED WHO IS EMPLOYABLE AND WHAT'S REQUIRED.

THE CITY OF PHOENIX AT PLACES LIKE THE AIRPORT HAVE BECOME A MAJOR EMPLOYER OF REFUGEES.

IF YOU HAVE A FRESH MEAL ON YOUR PLANE, IT'S POSSIBLE A REFUGEE HELPED PUT THAT FOOD TOGETHER OR HELPED TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE COLD DRINKS ON THE PLANE.

AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS CHANGED GREEN CARD RULES AND VISA REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH OUR EMPLOYERS AND WE WANT TO DO OUR PART TO HELP PEOPLE WHO WANT JOBS GET THEM AND EMPLOYERS WHO WANT TO KEEP THEM EMPLOYED UNDERSTAND THOSE PROCESSES.

>> Ted: SO DOCUMENTATION WOULD BE A BIGGIE THERE, CORRECT?

>> YES, IT'S THE SAME CHALLENGE AS WE'RE HAVING WITH OUR TRIBAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND IN ARIZONA A TRIBAL I.D.

IS A REALLY IMPORTANT FORM OF I.D.

AND WE'RE SEEING BIG CHALLENGES WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING IT.

THEY MAYBE ARE NOT TRAINING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE SEEN ARIZONA RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE MUCH LONGER THAN I, THEIR FAMILIES HAVE CHALLENGES WITH TRIBAL I.D.

SO WE WANT TO DO OUR PART AGAIN IN THAT AREA TO KEEP FOLKS SAFE.

>> Ted: SUPPORTIVE RESOURCES WAS ALSO MENTIONED.

>> RIGHT, SO WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD FROM BUSINESSES WHEN FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT STAGES AT THEIR BUSINESS THAT THEY SEE A HUGE DECLINE IN CUSTOMERS SO WE'RE WORKING WITH GROUPS LIKE THE HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM BUSINESS OWNERS.

WE'RE HEARING FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE NEAR THE ICE FACILITY OFF CENTRAL.

FEDERAL AGENTS HAVE BEEN USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS -- I'M SORRY, CHEMICAL SPRAYS MORE OFTEN WHEN PROTESTERS ARE THERE AND SOMETIMES THOSE CHEMICALS ARE GETTING INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES.

SO IMAGINE THAT, YOU'RE SITTING DINNER -- YOU'RE SITTING AT DINNER AT YOUR HOUSE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MAYBE PEPPER SPRAY WAFTS IN.

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DO OUR PART TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE.

>> Ted: WHAT IS THE CITY'S PART ASIDE FROM GETTING INFORMATION OUT?

>> WELL, PART OF IT IS WE'VE NEVER NEED TODAY DOCUMENT HOW OFTEN OUR FIREFIGHTERS WENT TO PROVIDE MEDICAL AID TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH CHEMICALS BEFORE, BUT THAT'S NOW HAPPENING MORE OFTEN WITH FEDERAL AGENTS.

WE HAD A DEEPLY DISTURBING SITUATION AT ONE OF THE -- WELL, THE ZIPS RESTAURANT, MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY EXERCISED THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND WANTED TO SHOW CONCERN AT 32ND AND SHEA, DEEPLY DISTURBING FOOT ANIMAL WHERE IT LOOKED LIKE FEDERAL AGENTS WERE SPRAYING PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT IMPEDING IN ANY WAY AND THE FEDERAL AGENTS WERE IN A VEHICLE AND SPRAYED THEM TO THE CHEMICAL SPRAYS.

TO ME, THAT'S ASSAULT.

WE WERE ABLE TO, AS SOON AS I SAW THE SOCIAL MEDIA FOOTAGE, I SHARED IT WITH OUR POLICE CHIEF AND HE AGREED IT LOOKED PROBLEMATIC AND WE REACHED OUT TO THE PERSON WHO POSTED AND TRIED TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD AND DOCUMENT IT AND THEN WE CONTACTED HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS AND WE RECOMMENDED THEY DO AN INVESTIGATION ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.

THEY ARE DOING THAT.

>> Ted: LAST QUESTION ON THIS.

IS POLICE, IS LAW ENFORCEMENT ON BOARD WITH THIS AND IF SO, HOW MUCH?

>> SO, OUR FOCUS IS ON CRIME IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.

WE ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF THINGS LIKE IMMIGRATION, THAT'S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO WE REALLY FOCUS ON UNDOING OUR JOBS AND PROTECTING THE CITY SHOULD THERE BE A DISTURBANCE WHERE THERE'S VIOLENCE OR LACK OF SAFETY, THEN WE CAN TRY TO COME IN AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, BUT WE LET FEDERAL IMMIGRATION DO THEIR BIG OPERATIONS AND THAT'S NOT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

>> Ted: FOR THOSE WHO SAY THAT DRAFTING THIS PLAN AND THE PLAN SO FAR AS THEY'VE SEEN IT IS NOT PROACTIVE ENOUGH, YOU SAY?

>> LOOK, PEOPLE ARE AFRAID RIGHT NOW.

I GET THAT.

I HAVE AN ABILITY TO HELP AND WE'RE TRYING TO LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM OTHER CITIES.

THE MAYORS OF PLACES INCLUDING MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND AND LOS ANGELES HAVE BEEN WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT ADVISING ME.

MY CHIEF OF STAFF WAS ABLE TO GO TO MINNEAPOLIS AND LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WE WANT TO LEARN AS MUCH ABOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES AND LOOK AT PHOENIX SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS.

WE REALLY ARE GOING TO DO OUR PART, THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS BEST LEFT TO OTHER BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, BUT IN TERMS OF LOCAL COMMUNITY, SAFETY, WORKING WITH BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITIES, I THINK THERE'S A LOT WE CAN DO TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

>> Ted: YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK SINCE THE CITY CHANGED THE EXPANSION, LIGHT RAIL EXPANSION FROM THE CAPITOL TO INDIAN SCHOOL ROAD.

WHY IS THAT NECESSARY AND GOOD FOR PHOENIX?

BECAUSE A LOT OF BUSINESSES ON INDIAN SCHOOL AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY VOTED ON THE FIRST PLAN, BUT THE FIRST PLAN IS NOW GONE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

>> WE VOTED THROUGH 2050, MULTIPLE EXTENSIONS IT THE WEST.

WE HAVE OUR HIGHEST RIDERSHIP IN AREAS LIKE THOMAS AND INDIAN SCHOOL ROAD AND THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT AREA SO WE CHANGED THE ORDER OF PRIORITY AND WE'LL BE BUILDING FIRST WITH HIGHER RIDERSHIP.

WE HEARD FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT MARYVILLE WHEN ARE YOU COMING BEST, BECAUSE THE LIGHT RAIL GOES NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND NORTH AND WE HAVE NOT GONE TO THE MARYVILLE COMMUNITY, INDIAN SCHOOL EXTENSION GIVES US THE ABILITY TO GO RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF INDIAN SCHOOL AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE BENEFITS.

WE'VE SEEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ALONG THE LIGHT RAIL.

MARYVILLE WAS FEELING LEFT OUT.

AND THE OTHER EXTENSION VERY MUCH ON THE MAP, BUT WILL COME LATER GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF I-10 SO YOU DON'T SEE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS BECAUSE THE FREEWAY ISN'T GOING TO TURN INTO HOUSING.

WE NEED I-10 TO CONTINUE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT EXTENSION AFTER WE'VE DONE WHAT'S CALLED THE RELIEVER FOR I-10, STATE ROUTE 30 SO A FREEWAY THAT WILL GO PARALLEL TO I-10 AND TAKE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC OFF.

I-10 IS INCREDIBLY BUSY AND PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED IF WE SHUT IT DOWN FOR CONSTRUCTION, THE EFFECTS WOULD BE CASCADING, BUT IF WE HAVE ALREADY DONE STATE ROUTE 30 AND COMPLETED THAT, THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS WON'T BE AS BAD AND WE CAN ALSO GET THOSE GREAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS.

>> Ted: FEDERAL FUNDING THOUGH IS ON THAT ORIGINAL SITE, CORRECT?

IS THE FEDERAL FUNDING GOING TO BE FOR THE INDIAN SCHOOL SITE OR IS THAT BASICALLY GO IT ALONE?

HOW IS THAT WORKING?

>> SO WE HAD NOT YET RECEIVED A FINAL GRANT AGREEMENT FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

I THINK THERE WERE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL CONCERNS.

THE SPEAKER OF THE STATE HOUSE AND THE SENATE PRESIDENT AS WELL AS THEIR CAUCUS WERE DEEPLY OPPOSED TO THAT AND WE SAW SOME REAL POLITICAL CONCERNS RIGHT NOW SO I THINK WE MIGHT SEE BROADER SUPPORT IN SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES WE'LL BE BUILDING LIGHT RAIL FIRST.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

BEFORE YOU GO, I UNDERSTAND YOU TOOK A PLANE FIGHT TO TAIPEI, TAIWAN.

NONSTOP FROM PHOENIX IN TAIWAN?

I SEE THE SEMICONDUCTORS, BUT IS THERE ENOUGH NEED, ENOUGH WANT FOR A NONSTOP FROM PHOENIX TO TAIPEI?

>> SO YOU AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT NEW FLIGHTS FOR AT LEAST A DECADE.

I HAVE BEEN REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT PHOENIX IS THE LARGEST SIT WITHOUT NONSTOP SERVICE TO ANYWHERE IN ASIA, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SO LONG AND HAD SO MANY MEETINGS WITH AIRLINES.

MY ACTUAL FIRST INTERNATIONAL TRIP AS MAYOR WAS TO TRY TO GET SEMICONDUCTORS AND THESE NONSTOP FLIGHTS AND I'M PLEASED THAT WE NOW HAVE NOT ONE, BUT TWO CARRIERS SERVING NONSTOP BETWEEN THE CITY OF PHOENIX AND TAIPEI SO WE'RE GETTING MORE GLOBAL ATTENTION.

WE'RE MORE GLOBALLY CONNECTED.

IT USED TO FRUSTRATE ME WHEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY OH, JUST GO THROUGH L.A.

YOU'RE LIKE A SATELLITE OF THEIRS.

WE'RE THE FIFTH LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY AND IT'S ABOUT TIME.

>> AND WE'VE GOT THE PLANT OUT THERE.

THIS ISN'T JUST PASSENGERS FILLING SEATS, THIS IS ALSO CARGO BACK AND FORTH.

>> CORRECT, SEMICONDUCTORS IS AN IMPORTANT GLOBAL INDUSTRY AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO FILL THE BOTTOMS OF THOSE PLANES WITH HIGH WAGE PRODUCTS AND ALSO BE AN I BELIEVE TO CREATE MORE JOBS HERE IF WE HAVE A BETTER SUPPLY CHANGE.

RIGHT NOW SO MANY OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS HAD TO FLY INTO CALIFORNIA AND SHIP AND GO BY TRUCK TO PHOENIX WHICH IS SLOW, INEFFICIENT AND SOMETIMES PLAN INTO REAL CHALLENGES SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO CREATE MORE JOBS LOCALLY.

>> Ted: BETWEEN THE TWO, HOW MANY NONSTOPS FROM PHOENIX TO TAIPEI.

>> SIX DAYS, AND EVEN BEFORE THIS SERVICE DRAMATIC GROWTH IN FLIGHTS BETWEEN PHOENIX AND ASIA, OVERALL UP 26%, BUT HERE IS A STAGGERING NUMBER IN 2025, MOST OF THE TIME WE HAD NO FLIGHTS TO TAIWAN, BUT AIR SERVICE WAS STILL UP 148%.

>> Ted: MY GOODNESS.

>> WE ARE CONNECT SNOOD WE'RE ALL SORTS OF THINGS HERE.

HOW LONG OF A FLIGHT?

>> 13 HOURS.

>> Ted: GET UP AND MOVE AROUND A LITTLE?

>> I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, ASIAN AIRLINES HAS VERY GOOD FOOD.

>> Ted: PHOENIX MAYOR KATE GALLEGO, ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> A NEW STAED LOOKING AT THE LINK BETWEEN SLEEP HABITS AND HEART DISEASE FINDS THAT NIGHT OWLS, THOSE THAT STAY UP LATE TEND TO HAVE A GREATER RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH ISSUES.

JOINING US WITH MORE IS DR.

LEO ODLE, A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Ted: THE LINK BETWEEN GENERAL HEALTH AND SLEEP HEALTH OR IS THIS SPECIFICALLY FOR NIGHT OWLS?

>> IT'S LINKING NIGHT OWLS WHO IS POOR SLEEP HABITS TO HEART HEALTH.

>> Ted: CAN YOU BE A NIGHT OWL AND HAVE GOOD SLEEP HABITS?

>> IT DOES NOT LEND ITSELF TO HAVING HEALTHY HABITS.

>> Ted: WHO WOULD YOU LIKE IS NIGHT OWL.

>> A PERSON MORE ACTIVE IN THE EVENING AND NIGHTTIME THAN IN THE MORNING AND STAY UP LATER THAN OTHER PEOPLE.

>> Ted: AND THAT JUST BY ITSELF IS A RISK FACTOR?

>> IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH POOR SLEEP AND POOR SLEEP IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH HEART DISEASE.

>> Ted: AND YOU MENTIONED IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH POOR HABITS.

>> POOR HABITS.

>> Ted: DURING THE DAY.

>> WHEN YOU GET OFF WORK LATE AT NIGHT, HAVING FAST FOOD INSTEAD OF A MORE HEALTHY MEAL, YOU ARE NOT EXERCISING REGULARLY.

>> Ted: DOES IT MATTER IF YOU'RE A NIGHT OWL AND YOU STILL GET EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP?

>> THERE'S INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION, A WEAKER CORRELATION, BUT IT DOES MATTER IF YOU'RE STILL A NIGHT OWL AND GOOD SLEEP AND GETTING EVERYTHING RIGHT BECAUSE YOUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS ARE NOT THE SAME.

>> Ted: TALK ABOUT YOUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND PITCH DARK.

>> WE NEED THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS, CORTISOL WILL LOOK AT OW STICKY THE RED BLOOD CELLS ARE IF YOU'RE OUT OF SYNC.

>> Ted: DOES IT MATTER IF YOU GET MAYBE A NAP DURING THE DAY, SIX HOURS OR SO?

>> I CAN'T ANSWER THAT BECAUSE THE STUDY DIDN'T ADDRESS THAT SPECIFICALLY, BUT TRYING TO GET THOSE SEVEN TO EIGHT HOURS SLEEP IS REALLY IMPORTANT DURING THE DAY.

>> Ted: AND INTERRUPTIONS CAN'T BE A GOOD THING EITHER.

>> INTERRUPTIONS CANNOT BE GOOD THING FOR R.E.M.

SLEEP.

>> Ted: DID THE STUDY SHOW IMPACT AMONG YOUNG WOMEN?

.

WOMEN ESPECIALLY, THEY HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THEM, WORKING, TAKING CARE OF FAMILIES, MOTHERS WORK VERY HARD, A LOT OF THEM DO SHIFT WORK IN NURSING AND SO FORTH WHEN THEY GET OFF WORK LATE AT NIGHT THEY MIGHT NOT MAKE THE BEST CHOICES, MIGHT NOT BE READY TO GO EXERCISE AND DO THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO.

>> Ted: BACK TO CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS IN YOUNG WOMEN AND EVERYONE HERE.

GETTING UP EARLY IS A GOOD THING FOR HEART HEALTH BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT, BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS BASICALLY SAYING, BRING ON THE DAY?

>> THAT'S HOW WE'RE DESIGNED TO BE.

OUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS ARE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY LIGHT EXPOSURE.

>> Ted: ESPECIALLY EARLY ON.

>> EARLY ON IN THE DAY.

>> Ted: WHAT ABOUT LIGHT EXPOSURE LATE AT NIGHT?

>> LATE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ARTIFICIAL LIGHT, BLUE LIGHT LIKE A COMPUTER SCREEN, iPAD, iPHONE ARE VERY DISRUPTIVE TO SLEEP.

>> Ted: SOME OF THE HEART CONCERNS ARE THEY REVERSIBLE.

CAN YOU BE A NIGHT OWL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING?

.

ABSOLUTELY.

FUR BIG THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL WITH HEART HEALTH AND EXERCISE, EATING HABITS, YOUR SLEEP, AND NICOTINE EXPOSURE, PEOPLE WHO ARE NIGHT OWLS TEND TO HAVE A HIGHER INSTANCE OF NICOTINE USE.

>> Ted: THEY STAY UP LATE.

>> THEY USE NICOTINE AS A STIMULANT TO STAY UP LATE.

>> Ted: OTHER STIMULANTS TO STAY UP LATE.

>> A CAFFEINE JUNKY, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY TO DRINK THAT WHILE GOING TO BED.

>> Ted: GIVE US GOOD SLEEP HABITS.

GETTING ENOUGH NATURAL LIGHT EARLIER IN THE DAY.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

>> GETTING NATURAL LIGHT AND SETTING A SCHEDULE FOR YOURSELF AND GOING TO BED THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY.

GETTING UP THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY AND NOT EATING LATE AT NIGHT, KEEPING AWAY FROM SUGARY FOODS AND ALCOHOL NEAR BEDTIME.

>> Ted: WHAT ABOUT SUGARY FOODS AND ALCOHOL NOT NEAR BEDTIME?

>> LIMIT THOSE, A GOOD FOUR HOURS AWAY FROM BEDTIME.

>> Ted: AS FAR AS EXERCISE IS CONCERNED.

BEST TO GO IN THE MORNING?

>> STUDIES SHOW THAT EARLY MORNING EXERCISE IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO YOU THAN EVENING EXERCISE.

>> Ted: BUT THAT EVENING EXERCISE IS STILL BENEFICIAL.

>> IT IS, BUT MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK BY DOING IT IN THE MORNING.

>> Ted: THE ARTIFICIAL LIGHT ASPECT.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT IN THE DAYTIME.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT EARLY EVENING, STILL A PROBLEM?

>> IT IS.

I DO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE, IF YOU WORK IN AN OFFICE ALL DAY, AT LUNCH GO OUTSIDE AND GET SOME SUNLIGHT, NATURAL SUNLIGHT, IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL.

>> Ted: YOU MENTIONED EATING AND DRINKING.

HOW JUST IN GENERAL, HOW LONG BEFORE BEDTIME SHOULD YOU KNOCK IT OFF?

>> YOU'RE TRYING TO AVOID OVEREATING AND DRINKING ABOUT FOUR HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME, NO STIMULANTS EITHER.

>> Ted: FOUR HOURS, HOLY SMOKES WHAT IF YOU NEED A GLASS OF MILK TO GET TO SLEEP.

>> TOTALLY GET A GLASS OF MILK, THAT'S FINE.

>> Ted: THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

>> YEAH.

>> Ted: OKAY.

I NOTICE, MAYBE I'M WRONG HERE, BUT KEEPING YOUR BEDROOM COOL.

>> COOL AND DARK.

>> Ted: COOL AND DARK.

AND QUIET, OBVIOUSLY.

COOL, DARK AND QUIET.

>> YOU SLEEP BETTER IN A COOLER ROOM.

AND TRYING TO BE WARM AND COZY.

STUDIES DON'T SHOW THAT, PUT THE BLANKETS ON AND MAKE THE ROOM COOL.

>> Ted: THIS ALL AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HEART HEALTH AND SLEEP HEALTH HERE.

WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING HARD ISSUES DO THEY COME ON EARLIER IN LIFE IF THESE SORTS OF THINGS, THESE SLEEP HABITS ARE NOT VERY GOOD?

>> THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

HAVING PREMATURE HEART ATTACKS.

YOU KNOW, A PERSON WHO HAS A HEART ATTACK AT 100 IS DIFFERENT FROM A PERSON WHO HAS A HEART ATTACK AT 46.

>> Ted: YEAH, I CAN'T SAY YOU CAN CONTROL THIS, BUT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, YOU CAN DECREASE THE RISK FACTOR.

>> YOU HAVE A LARGE INFLUENCE OVER THESE THINGS.

YOU REALLY DO.

YOUR LIFE CHOICES AND CONTROLLING YOUR CHOLESTEROL, YOUR BLOOD SUGAR, BLOOD PRESSURE, YOU NEED A PROVIDER TO HELP YOU.

AND YOU CAN INFLUENCE HEART HEALTH.

>> Ted: AND POOR CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, OBESITY, THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

>> YES.

>> Ted: THE BIGGEST THING TO TELL SOMEONE LISTENING TO THIS, OH, BROTHER.

>> YOU CAN GO HOME TODAY AND YOU CAN START EXERCISING AND DIETARY CHOICES AND GOOD SLEEP AND AVOID NICOTINE AND STIMULANTS.

>> Ted: DR.

LEO ODLE, AGAIN, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN TALKING ABOUT RESEARCH LINKING SLEEP AND HEART HEALTH.

GOOD INFORMATION.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Ted: THANK YOU.

I TOOK CARE OF MY OWN MOTHER WHO HAD ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND IT WAS A REALLY DIFFICULT STRUGGLE FOR ME AND I REALIZED THROUGH ALL OF MY STRUGGLES, WE HAD A REAL CONTENTIOUS RELATIONSHIP AT ONE POINT, I REALIZED THE NEED TO PRACTICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT CAREGIVERS.

IF YOU HAVE EDUCATION, YOU CAN FEEL SUPPORTED, YOU CAN FEEL PREPARED TO TACKLE ANY OF THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU MAY FACE WHEN CARING FOR SOMEBODY WITH DEMENTIA.

>> Ted: YOU'VE GOT THE ONLINE COURSE NOW FOR THOSE CARING FOR DEMENTIA AND THERE'S A DEMENTIA MASTER COURSE, WHAT IS THAT?

>> IT'S EVIDENCE BASED AND COMPLETED MY DOCTOR AT YALE UNIVERSITY, FOCUSED ON RESEARCH FOR BEHAVIORS AND UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA BEHAVIORS.

SO THE COURSE TRULY FOCUSES ON HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH BEHAVIOR, LIKE MAYBE REPETITIVE QUESTIONS, OR HALLUCINATIONS.

SOMEBODY WITH DEMENTIA MAY THINK THAT SOMEBODY IS IN THEIR HOME OR PARANOID DELUSIONS, THINKING THEIR LOVED ONE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR OR ITEMS.

I HAVE A STEP BY STEP PROCESS I TEACH TO HELP PEOPLE NAVIGATE THROUGH THESE THINGS.

>> Ted: IT'S A SELF-PACED CLASS SO IT'S UP TO YOU TO GET WHAT YOU NEED AND IF YOU NEED SOMETHING MORE IT'S OKAY TO SLOW DOWN.

IT'S TOUGH.

>> IT IS, AND WE HAVE A COMPONENT IN OUR COURSE THAT ADDRESSES MENTAL HEALTH AND WE TEACH STRATEGIES TO HELP WITH THINGS LIKE PARANOIA AND DELUSIONS.

>> Ted: AND ALSO TEACH STRATEGIES, I WOULD IMAGINE, WITH THINGS LIKE BURNOUT FOR THE CAREGIVERS?

>> YES, WE HAVE A WHOLE SEGMENT ON THAT, ON SELF-CARE.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT CAREGIVERS TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.

I HAVE A HUGE EMPHASIS WITHIN ONE OF THE MODULES WITHIN THE COURSE.

>> Ted: HOME CARE SERVICES HERE AS WELL?

>> WE HAVE HOME CARE AND ORGANIZATIONS HAVE HOME CARE, AND SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA AND OUR STAFF ARE TRAINED DEALING WITH THIS.

>> NOT LONG, A PRETTY SHORT PROCESS.

>> Ted: OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE GOT YOUR DOCTORATE AT YALE WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE'S QUALIFICATIONS.
