“Working in public health isn’t just intellectually engaging, but also life-affirming and deeply affecting.”

Is sleep a social determinant of health?

Dr. Lauren Hale weighs in for National Sleep Month. The truth is, the ability to get a good night’s sleep isn’t equally distributed.

Factors like:
• Work schedules
• Caregiving responsibilities
• Financial stress
• Housing safety..all dictate who gets to rest and who doesn’t. When sleep is disrupted, it impacts everything from mental health to long-term disease risk.

It’s time to move beyond “just go to bed earlier” and start talking about the social conditions that allow for true recovery.
