The Health ZZZs Challenge is back for November. During this 4 week challenge, participants will be asked to add two new healthy sleep habits per week. By the end of November, you should be incorporating 8 healthy habits and sleeping much better.

During the Healthy ZZZs Challenge, we will have weekly drawings for prizes for all those who submit their logs. And participants will receive educational emails weekly with scientific encouragement to make these positive changes.

Mental Health for the Holidays
Holidays are generally happy times, but can be very stressful too. It is not unusual for those who suffer from depression or anxiety to have an intensification of symptoms. If you or your family members are looking for any extra support from a counselor, please reach out to our EAP provider Impact Solutions for up to five free visits. Contact Impact at 1-800-227-6007
