If you had to describe your sleep personality, would you be a bear, easily tucked in and sleeping a season away? Or are you a night owl—nocturnal, bright-eyed, and twitching awake at every faint sound and flicker of light?

Chances are, you’re a little of both—getting great sleep some nights, and barely closing your eyes on others. It’s no wonder, considering how many things in life can affect whether you’re able to rest or not (including noisy partners, hungry babies, and furry friends).

Unfortunately, not getting enough good-quality sleep can sidetrack your immune system which lowers antibody counts and leaves you more susceptible to infections. And chronic sleep deprivation can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, dementia, and poor attention span, memory, and cognition.

Follow us all month as we break down how beneficial sleep is and how to counteract the negatives with some positively rejuvenating shut eye.

What is “good” sleep, you ask? Good timing, because we’re focused on catching some restorative shut-eye all month long.

So, let’s talk about it. Good sleep isn’t just about quality—it’s also related to quantity. Getting enough sleep on the regular is key to your mood, brain function, and overall health. Being able to fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night also raises the quality of your rest.

From a clinical standpoint, “good” sleep means your body is able to cycle through its normal pattern—falling asleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep—with infrequent interruptions.

Are you getting A+ Zs? If not, upgrade with the help of your Health Center at Hudson Yards care team.

In honor of Black History Month and American Heart Month both coming to a close today, we feel called to highlight the great Arthur Ashe.

He overcame segregation and racial roadblocks to break global color barriers in tennis, eventually winning Wimbledon as well as the Australian, French, and US Open tournaments (among many, many other awards, accolades, and titles).

Arthur also had his first heart attack at the age of 36.

Through a blood transfusion he received after heart surgery, he contracted HIV. He died due to complications from AIDS before his 50th birthday—but only after he tirelessly used his platform, energy, and the time he had left to advocate for others. Arthur raised awareness and funds for AIDS and expanded access to health education and care to vulnerable populations.

A sportsman, a gentleman, and an activist, his athletic and humanitarian legacy rightfully continues to span the globe. His words and actions have encouraged, inspired, and lifted generations of Black athletes and people everywhere.

He reminds us simply and timelessly that no matter where you are or what you have, today is a good day to have a good day. And we hope you do.

The people have spoken. And the ones who prefer to sweat with others in a sauna-like environment have it by a mile. (The rest of you devoted yogis would rather savasana not be akin to a slip-and-slide.)

But no matter which style you love, you’re passionate about it for good reasons—yoga is an amazing way to elongate your body, strengthen your muscles, and lift your spirit. It’s an hour to center your thoughts, lower your stress levels, and unwind.

And hot yoga has some intrinsic benefits: The heat keeps you present, it taxes (and builds) your cardiovascular capacity, and it increases both flexibility and range of motion because your muscles are so warm.

But is hot yoga safe? Yes—however, like most exercise, it depends on your current health. If you have preexisting conditions, check in with your doctor before signing up for a heated class. And if you have heart disease or a history of heat-related reactions but love the yoga vibe, you might consider sticking to a regular session.

Remember to hydrate before, during, and after every class. Listen to your body and take breaks if you need to. And if your instructor makes you feel anything except safe, strong, and centered, find a new one.

Namaste.

If you’ve ever sweat, stretched, and exhaled your way through a hot yoga session (and perhaps been berated by a yogi with a misaligned chakra 👀) you might have a love/hate relationship with the practice.

We’re right there with you.

So, before we dive into the cardiovascular benefits of hot yoga, we want to know what you think. Tell us below in emojis—does a dripping down dog flow set your week on 🔥, or does it leave you feeling like a dumpling that’s languished in the steamer for too long, aka 🥵?

Stand by (preferably in a room that isn’t heated to 105 degrees) for more to come. Tree pose optional.

Ladies—time to get real. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States.

You’re probably familiar with the more well-known risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. But increasing evidence is being gathered around women-specific risks that you may not be aware of.

Mount Sinai doctor Roxana Mehran, MD shares that high blood pressure or elevated blood sugar during pregnancy can lead to heart disease developing later in life. And that things like intimate partner violence, abuse, and depression can be risk factors as well.

Start getting heart smart by focusing on what you can control, like your lifestyle choices. Eating healthy foods, moving your body regularly, and educating yourself on risks—and how to offset them—are all positive steps you can take to keep your heart healthy.

Ah, love. It can take your breath away, make you feel loopy, and get your heart racing.

Ready for a reality check? Heart disease can do all that, too.

Typical physical symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness, or an irregular heartbeat (along with chest pain or pressure). More subtle sensations might be heartburn, indigestion, or neck pain. And when those symptoms seem to arise during times of high stress or physical exertion, it can be an indication that heart disease is present.

February may be American Heart Month, but understanding your cardiovascular health is something we always focus on—even on Valentine’s Day.

If you have concerns, questions, or want to discuss symptoms you’re experiencing, connect with your care team today.

Getting a good sweat going increases your heart rate, endorphin levels, and body temperature. All three of those aftereffects promote alertness at first (that post-exercise glow-up is real), but then they give way to deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.

Why? Because 30-90 minutes after moderate aerobic exercise, your mood is stabilized and your decompressed state helps your body settle in for rest. So, if you want to fall fast asleep at night, try working out during the day.

Still up when you’d rather be knocked out? Talk to your provider about solutions that can help.

Whether your heart is pounding, melting, or broken, that vital, muscular organ beats in your chest—over 100,000 times a day—pumping nutrients and oxygen-rich blood throughout the entire body.

But if damage occurs due to illness, lifestyle choices, or other factors, the heart’s function can diminish, which can lead to life-threatening complications. The good news is that some forms of heart disease are preventable and some can also be reversed. How? By giving your heart (and your whole body) the TLC it deserves.

Measuring your blood pressure and cholesterol, managing stress, and knowing your personal risk factors can all help. Not sure where to start? Your care team has the answers. Make your heart sing by making an appointment today.

Here’s your reminder to invite mindfulness into the room whenever you’re eating or drinking.

Pay attention to taste, mouthfeel, and smell. Think about how consuming this food or drink makes you feel—and then think about the feeling that might be causing you to consume it. Are you hungry or sad? Frustrated or frightened? Thirsty or triggered?

If you identify negative emotions that you may be trying to mask with food or alcohol, take a moment to focus on what your body is really asking for. If you’re actually seeking connection, relaxation, or comfort, give yourself the opportunity to receive those things instead. Chat with a friend or family member, take a bath or a yoga class, or find a cozy place where you can recharge.

Need help identifying how to make choices that honor your innate body wisdom? Talk to your care team today.
