🍂 Shorter days don't have to mean lower energy!

As daylight hours decrease, changes in natural light can affect our internal clocks, sleep patterns, and energy levels.

For those working overnight or rotating shifts, maintaining healthy sleep habits can be especially challenging.
The good news? Small adjustments to your daily routine can make a difference.

Swipe through for practical ways to support your sleep and energy as we transition into the shorter days of fall and winter.

Kelci & Paauna had a great time representing Deer Hollow and 1st Watch Wellness at the Draper City Government Resource Fair, right here in our hometown!

Events like these are a great opportunity to connect with our local community, share the mental health and wellness resources available through our programs, and strengthen relationships with the first responders and city employees we have the privilege of serving.

Of course, we couldn't pass up a photo op with Fire Chief Smith and a fellow Draper firefighter! 🚒📸

A big thank you to Draper City for bringing everyone together for such a great event!

For first responders and other shift workers, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule can already be a challenge. Irregular hours disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, and as daylight hours decrease, those challenges can become even more pronounced.

As part of our October focus, The Seasonal Shift, we're sharing helpful tips from the University of Utah to support better sleep, maintain energy, and navigate the changing seasons.

💤 Better sleep is an essential part of overall wellness. Small adjustments can make a meaningful difference!
