Daylight Savings Time and your sleep pattern

As if the past year hasn't done enough to throw our sleep patterns out of whack, this Sunday is when we throw the annual monkey wrench into the schedule: Daylight Saving Time.

"Our results show that sleep timing...

Include better sleep in your New Year's resolution

We're already several days into 2021; how are those New Year's resolutions coming? Some of the most common goals we set involve our health, such as eating better, exercising more, even being more positive. Unfortunately, most of those efforts will fall off before long. On average, 80% of people drop their resolutions by the middle of February. We are so focused on just getting by that there's hardly any energy left to create new habits. One way to help improve your odds is getting enough rest. According to a study from the CDC, one in three adults don't get enough sleep. Doesn't it make sense to ensure the time you do get to spend in bed is as restful as possible? Sleeping...
