Ever wondered “Why does my nose get stuffy at night (of all times)?”

Here’s the deal: inside your house, there are allergens (dust mites, pet dander, mold) that build up while you’re asleep. Then add lying flat (so gravity can’t help drainage), plus maybe something like acid reflux irritating your sinuses — and boom: nasal congestion strikes. The worst, right?!

So here's what you can do:
-Elevate your head/shoulders when you sleep
-Use a humidifier in your bedroom
-Change sheets + vacuum frequently to reduce allergens
-Limit late-night meals if reflux hits you
-Consider a saline spray or neti pot before bed

Happy National Cookie Day! 🍪

Whether you’re baking up chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, or sugar cookies this holiday season, take a quick pause before you sneak that batter spoon. Why? Because raw flour can carry E. coli, and raw eggs might harbor Salmonella. Learn more at https://ow.ly/L6E450XA23K.

So here’s the safe cookie pledge: bake first, taste later. Serve warm, enjoy the crunch or chew, and celebrate the sweet without the risk.

What’s your favorite cookie to bake? Share a pic of the freshly baked batch (not the dough 😜)!

Parents, if you've ever wondered whether your child is “on track,” here’s what you need to know:

-From the very first months through age 5, your child reaches key milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act, and move.
-The Milestone Tracker app (free from the CDC) gives checklists by age, sharing tools, and tips for supporting your child’s development.
-If you feel your child isn’t hitting milestones, don’t wait—talk to their doctor, use the checklist, ask about screening. Early help can make a big difference.

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, and a powerful way to support people living with epilepsy is by understanding how seizure triggers work — and what you can do about them.

One useful strategy? The ABC approach:
A – Antecedents: What happens before a seizure? (e.g., lack of sleep, illness, stress)
B – Behaviors: What happens during the event (or what you thought was a seizure)?
C – Consequences: What comes after — injuries, fatigue, hospital visits, changes in daily life?

By tracking this in a seizure diary, you can start to see patterns and work with your care team to develop lifestyle adjustments and safety plans. Let’s use this month to spread awareness, reduce stigma, and empower those affected.

Epilepsy impacts people of all ages — and so do we. Our adult and child neurology specialists are committed to compassionate, comprehensive care. Learn more about our services at https://communitycare.com/specialties/neurology/.
