<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>We all need adequate sleep to function properly throughout the day. Without sleep, your mood, memory, and energy are negatively affected. To give yourself the best chance for good sleep, turn off your phone notifications at bedtime-- or better yet, TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!
