Michael Quadri started the topic A Good Night's Sleep in the forum Adults With Sickle Cell Disease 3 days, 9 hours ago
Do you have any tips for getting a good night’s sleep?
I have an Apple Watch and I downloaded an app that allows me to track my sleep. In my case, it was highlighted that I have a better sleep if I workout during the day, and I must admit, I do feel more refreshed when I workout.
Is there anything that you do that helps you sleep better?

Yes, it is very important to know where they are and ensure the parents/guardians are aware of the protocol if an emergency does occur. Children will ultimately be children but making the necessary provisions is fundamental to guarantee their safety.

Michael Quadri started the topic Alcohol consumption in the forum Adults With Sickle Cell Disease 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Do you drink alcohol?
Alcohol can lead to serious dehydration, and dehydration is a known trigger of a sickle cell crisis. It is advised that if we drink alcohol, we should consume equal parts of water.
Because of this, a lot of people with sickle cell avoid alcohol altogether.
Where do you stand?
