Hello! I’m looking to talk to people about their sleeping and eating habits!
I'd like to know what you eat before bed and how it impacts your sleep.
DM me if you'd like to talk or comment on this post! Your replies may be used in an article for SleepFoundation.Org.

I’m working on an article about seasonal sleep issues and the use of sleep aids like melatonin. If you’ve ever struggled with sleep during the long, dark winter months and relied on a sleep aid to get you through it, I’d love to hear about your experience.

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but a LOT of people aren’t giving up.
We are still doing everything we can to keep our families, friends, and communities safe.
We do not accept “everyone” will get COVID.
If you are doing this too, you are not alone.

For a story: I'm looking to talk to women who stumbled across and were alarmed by social media posts claiming that the Covid-19 vaccines affect fertility or are unsafe for pregnant women. (The vaccine is safe, but some social media posts were quite scary!) Please RT, and thanks.
