Time to read: 45 seconds to read. Doing this challenge will give you time
Welcome to week 3 of your Summer challenge!
Like last week's challenge - EAT, this week is about caring for your human body.
The research is clear. You need SLEEP.
Sleep is often the first thing you sacrifice in order to cram in a few extra emails or tend to the laundry. Perhaps you worry in the night or wake up early. Whatever is getting in the way of your sleep, do something about it.
Getting enough sleep will, quite literally, change your life.
Here are the best tips for getting good sleep:
- Stick to a sleep routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
- Turn off screens 2 hours before bedtime.
- Do quiet, relaxing things in the evening. It's not the time to read stressful news or argue with your spouse.
- If you feel like something physical impairs your sleep, like apnea, hormones or other health issues, talk to your doctor.
You are worth investing in your sleep and making it a priority. Getting enough sleep is probably the quickest path to more energy and less stress.
If you're already feeling refreshed, please invite your friends and colleagues to join you. All they have to do is sign up for this newsletter to be part of the fun. They can sign up here.
If you have something you'd like me to address in this challenge, please reach out. Tell me the thing you'd like to shift, and I'll add a challenge tailored for you (and you can bet others need it, too!).
Have fun getting your zzzzz's this weekend!
