To understand sleep & mental health we need to hear from people who may find lab settings especially challenging and redesign the experience with them. Today's blog shares what a study on this found 👉 www.mcpin.org/redesigning-sleep-study/ @circadianmhnetw.bsky.social @emmacsullivan.bsky.social
To better understand the links between sleep and mental health, we need to make traditional lab settings more accessible, say researchers and young people.

❄️ Do you experience the “winter blues”? Have you ever thought about writing a letter to winter as a way to cope? Many people notice changes in mood, energy, and motivation during the darker months – sometimes this can be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). ↪️ 1/3
