- What does healthy eating look like for our community? Eggs, Coffee and Bananas! These were the top three logged foods among the community.
- And everyone knows how important sleep is. Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep for adults. Our community trended closer to the 7 hour mark, logging an average of 6.94 hours/night in 2016.
