WEBINAR July 28, 1 pm ET: ow.ly/QYzj50Zg2wc Shift Work, Sleepless Nights, and the Science of Being Human -with Sara Jahnke Sleep is a critical but often overlooked factor in firefighter health, affecting everything from cancer risk and cardiovascular disease to mental health, memory, and reaction time.

Attendees will also get practical, realistic strategies for protecting sleep, advice on using light and caffeine wisely, and building better rest habits in a demanding profession.
