LINCOLN, Neb. (RFD-TV) — As the time change approaches, this week’s Rural Health Matters segment on Market Day Report focused on sleep health — an issue that becomes increasingly important with shorter days, fall stress, and seasonal changes.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, joined RFD-TV to discuss how seasonal stress and mental health concerns can make it more challenging to get a restful night’s sleep.
In his interview, Dr. Gold shared ways individuals can take care of themselves and manage challenges when sleep and mental health are affected. He also offered a message to viewers about the importance of prioritizing rest and mental well-being for overall health.
