America Has 7,500 Sleep Specialists for 50 Million Patients
The math of the access crisis — and why software, not more clinics, is the only path to scale.
The full article is being prepared by the Somos clinical team. Our writing process pairs board-certified physicians with editors to translate the latest peer-reviewed research into clear, useful prose.
This page is a structural preview. Final content — including citations, figures, and clinical commentary — will be published shortly. In the meantime, here's a look at how each piece in The Somos Journal will be organized.
The Science
Every article opens with the underlying physiology. We explain what's happening in the body — circadian biology, autonomic regulation, metabolic pathways — in language that respects the reader without diluting the medicine.
What the Data Shows
We summarize the strongest available evidence — typically randomized trials, large cohort studies, and meta-analyses from journals like JAMA, The Lancet, and Sleep. Effect sizes, confidence intervals, and population details are surfaced, not hidden.
"The goal isn't to alarm. The goal is to make the invisible measurable, and the measurable actionable."
Clinical Implications
What does this mean inside the exam room? We discuss screening thresholds, when to refer, and how Somos clinicians integrate the finding into our integrated sleep-and-metabolic protocols.
What This Means for You
Every piece closes with a practical translation. Concrete steps, realistic expectations, and — when relevant — a clear path into Somos care.
