I am a sleep activist. Why do doctors put me on drugs before giving me a sleep study?

### 🧠 Let’s Talk Health, Schools & Smarter ChoicesRobert F. Kennedy Jr.’s **Make America Healthy Again** initiative is bringing new attention to the impact that the food you eat, the sleep you get, and the pills you take have on your energy—especially your ability to stay alert behind the wheel and keep your phone mount safely above the steering wheel, at the same eye level as the windshield.In fact, **no-fault states** might even consider making phone mount checks part of routine vehicle safety inspections.✅ **Medication & Motivation**Some medications, especially certain atypical antipsychotics, can delay a teen’s ability to get a *driver’s license*—not from laziness, but because they haven’t yet found the right **preservative-free diet** and **metacognitive habits** to boost alertness and motivation.✅ **Dr. Benjamin Feingold’s Legacy**Dr. Feingold’s research revealed how artificial dyes, sweeteners, and preservatives can affect attention and behavior. His pioneering diet inspired parents to read labels and question what’s really in their food.✅ **Native American Nutrition Wisdom**Native American dietitians remind us of the value of natural, unprocessed breakfasts—whole grains, roots, and protein-rich foods that sustain steady energy and clear minds without sugar spikes.✅ **Better Sleep, Sharper Focus**Nasal magnets and breathing strips (like those from *Intake Breathing*) can help kids who snore get deeper, oxygen-rich sleep—making them more alert and focused the next day *without needing caffeine or coffee at all.*
