Sleep is essential – it impacts your mood, productivity, and ability to recover from injuries or prevent strains. The stimuli your body experiences can change your sleep quality from season to season, requiring some adjustments to enhance your rest. To improve summertime sleep, consider keeping your room cool, limiting screen time at night, and establishing a consistent bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to sleep.

Hi, I'm Dr. Shivan McDonald and I'm a part of the clinical team at Aware Health! Being a PT is such a fun and rewarding career. I love learning what motivates my patients and being their resource for guidance, knowledge, and encouragement. I grew up being active and playing competitive soccer, and even went through a difficult ankle fracture. I had seen personally, and with friends and family, how devastating it is to feel hopeless and limited. Now as a PT, I really enjoy being able to educate and create goals with my patients so they never feel the same way. I still play in a co-ed soccer league with my husband and friends, and living in Denver I love to ski, golf, and hike with our dog!
