Are you getting enough sleep? @klknut spoke to @thedailynu about how adequate sleep is a key part of a balanced lifestyle. “Similar to diet and exercise, I want people to start thinking of healthy sleep as part of a healthy lifestyle,” she said. spr.ly/60163teer

After a spectacular #AHA22 with emphasis on #SDOH & #HealthEquity, what can YOU do to address health equity? Remember, public policy IS health policy.

Permanent DST would force millions to start before sunrise for months in winter. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep later year-round for health. #EndDST #SaveStandardTime

I'm gonna say the important part louder: CHICAGO, CHECK WHERE YOUR POLLING PLACE IS BEFORE ELECTION DAY. Here's a site where you can do that: chicagoelections.gov/en/your…

Chicago's election board cut 166 polling sites. It added 68 new ones too. The changes shifted boundaries. The result? Most Chicago voters will have new polling sites, writes @KinseyCrowley. chicagotribune.com/politics/…
