November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, with campaigns such as Movember and Bowvember. It’s also the month when we start losing daylight, which can lead to issues with sleep. Let’s take the opportunity to tackle taboos such as erectile dysfunction and mental health. As well, let’s give ourselves the tools to survive the return to standard time.

Erectile dysfunction is often a taboo subject. It’s more widespread than people think: many people suffer from it, sometimes without even knowing it. Unfortunately, sleep disorders, diabetes and erectile dysfunction go hand in hand.
Communicating negative feelings among men is difficult and often dictated by social norms. Yet, male distress is real. Statistics paint a sad picture: four times as many men as women commit suicide.
The fall time change affects our biological clock, which can have undesirable effects on our sleep, mood and health. Fortunately, there are several ways to mitigate these disruptions.
