If you've noticed yourself yawning more, reaching for that second cup of coffe, or struggling to keep your eyes open in September , you're not alone. Many people feel unusuaaly tired during this season - and it's not just your imagination.
As summer fades, the days get shorter. less dayligth means your body produces more melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy. At the same time, your internal clock - or circadian rhythm-has to adjust. That transition can leave you feeling groggy, even if your're sleeing enough hours.
September often brings major routine changes: kids going back to school, earlier alarms, busier commutes, and jam packed schedules. Even adults without school aged kids can feel the ripple effect- more traffic, longer workdays, and seasonal deadlines. All of this adds mental and physical stress, which translates into fatigue.
September is also prime time for ragweed pollen and mold spores. If you have seasonal allergies, your immune system is already working overtime. Symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes can disrupt sleep, leaving your more drained during the day.
The change of seasons can affect your mood, too. Some people start feeling the early signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) even in the late summer or early fall. That low mood or lack of motivation can look a lot like fatigue.

National Diabetes Awareness Week
Diabetes affects the body’s ability to get energy from glucose. People with this condition are either not able to produce sufficient insulin (Type 1) or are unable to use the insulin their body makes to its full potential (Type 2).
When either of these things occurs, an excess of sugar remains in the blood. Left unchecked, too much sugar in the bloodstream can lead to the development of serious problems like kidney and heart disease, as well as vision loss. Unfortunately, 20% of people with diabetes may never know they have it.

"I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was skeptical at first, but I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours.
