Many of us LOVE Autumn. The changing colors, layers of clothing, breathing in the scent of cinnamon and other spices — all ways the season engages our senses.

*Experts suggest that Fall triggers the reward center of the brain – with the release of dopamine, which makes us feel cozy, calm and nostalgic.  Plus, with fewer daylight hours and earlier sunsets, it can be easier to get the optimal seven to nine hours of sleep nightly.    https://www.newsnationnow.com/health/autumn-health-brain-benefits/

September is a peak month for fall bird migration, with millions of birds flying south each night. Artificial lights confuse birds, making it difficult for them to navigate using the stars and moon. So, just turn off unnecessary lights especially outdoor lights between 11pm and 6am during the month of September to help migrating birds. https://nc.audubon.org/conservation/lights-out-north-carolina
