Sleep Health with Dr. Leyden Lozada + NOLA's DEEP Hotdog Scandal with Tye Turner

Send us Fan MailGetting good beauty sleep is about more than just keeping yourself looking fresh. March 12-18 is National Sleep Health Week, so this episode we're talking to Ochsner Hospital's pediatric pulmonologist and sleep expert Dr. Leyden Lozada about healthy sleep habits for adults and kids. Dr. Lozada tells us why sleep is critical for our health and growth, especially for kids, how a lack of sleep impacts our bodies, and how we can improve our pre-bedtime routines. We also discuss whether it's a good idea to ban toys in bed, whether soothing sounds and lights are really helpful for babies, and what warning signs parents should look out for in their children when it comes to respiratory health at night.Then we hear an important true story from documentary film director Tye Turner of the so-called NOLA Hot Dog War. Tye tells us about the corruption he's uncovered that is going on right now in the streets of New Orleans in his movie "Dirty Dogs." The documentary tells the story of a local ordinance that has allowed Lucky Dog hotdog vendors to have a 50-year monopoly on the French Quarter!!! Y'all ever noticed there are NO other food trucks or food stands allowed?! Well, as Tye explains, he uncovered in his filmmaking that Lucky, the only food cart chain in the Quarter, is also part-owned by one of our own state senators! This is a fascinating and enraging story, after you hear it I think you'll agree that we need to do something about the lack of equal opportunity for potential food vendors in our beloved city.Support the showThank you to our family of amazing sponsors of UNSCRIPTED: The NolaPapa Podcast                                                 Ochsner Children’s HospitalWww.ochsner.orgRouses MarketsWww.ochsner.orgSTATE FARM® INSURANCE AGENT Leigh Ann Arcuri                www.ridewithla.comAudubon Nature Institute                                                                                                   www.aduboninstutue.org Cafe Du Monde                                                                            www.shop.cafedumonde.com                                                                         Sandpiper Vacations                                                                www.sandpipervacations.comNew Orleans Ice Cream Company                                 www.neworleansicecream.comERA TOP REALTY: Realtor Pamela Breaux                                                                Email to:[email protected] Orleans Tea Co.                                                 www.neworleansteacompany.comBottom of the Cup Tea Room                                                www.bottomofthecup.comAnd thank you to our AFTER DARK!
