Am I getting enough sleep, and if not, what can I do about it? Plenty keeping us up worried these nights and many forms of sleep disorders rob us of full function. But how much of it is up to me and my discipline? Today I want to love myself better by honestly observing my part in any unhealthy patterns, finding ways to sleep and wake better. Committing yet again, to this rule: No digital device at my bedside or in my bedroom for at least 30 mins before and after sleep. Yes even the alarm. And also, sheets matter.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
