Better Sleep Starts at Sunrise ☀️

As the days get shorter, your internal clock can easily lose its rhythm. The secret to a restful night isn't just your bedtime routine—it’s how you start your morning.

Reset your body clock with these two science-backed habits:
- Stick to a Schedule: Waking up at the same time every day trains your brain to wind down naturally at night.
- Chase the Light: Open your blinds or step outside for 10 minutes. Early light exposure regulates your sleep cycle and boosts daytime alertness.

Small morning wins, big nightly results.

Protect Your Skin This Winter. Hydration and SPF Matter All Year.

Winter weather is rough on your skin—cold, dry air outside plus indoor heating can mess with your skin barrier, leaving it extra sensitive and dehydrated. Using hydrating products with ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid can help lock in moisture and support skin health.

Sun protection is just as important in winter as it is in summer — UVA rays are consistent year round and can still pe*****te and contribute to premature aging and pigmentation. A daily moisturizing SPF, even under makeup, helps protect your skin year-round.

Turn the Page, Calm the Mind.

Spending a few minutes reading a book can help the mind unwind and support healthier sleep. Reading allows your brain to slow down, step away from screens, and settle into a more relaxed rhythm.

How reading can help:
- Gives your eyes and mind a break from blue light
- Helps reduce stress and tension so your body can relax
- Supports deeper, more restorative sleep

Even twenty minutes of reading can make a meaningful difference. If sleep continues to be a challenge, experts at The Montefiore Einstein Division of Sleep Medicine can help you explore safe and effective next steps.

Understanding Social Anxiety — and Knowing You’re Not Alone.

Social anxiety isn’t something to feel embarrassed about. It’s a common, treatable condition that affects how people experience social situations — and recognizing it is a powerful first step toward feeling better.

Some common experiences include:
- Worrying about being judged or embarrassed
- Physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or trembling
- Difficulty with everyday activities, such as starting conversations or eating in public

Treatment for social anxiety is effective, help is available. Supportive care — including therapy and support groups, can help you feel more comfortable and confident.

Let’s talk facts about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

The HPV vaccine protects against nine types of human papillomavirus, including seven high-risk types that cause most HPV-related cancers and two low-risk types that cause most ge***al warts.

The HPV vaccine series is recommended for girls and boys at the age of 11 or 12, and can be started at age 9. It is important for everyone to get vaccinated, because anyone, regardless of their s*x, can develop HPV-related cancers.
