Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!

Feel Good Friday💙

After a few weeks of having no lift and needing to make adjustments, yesterday we managed to have it looked at, and it is now on working order🤗
Therefore, we would like to thank all our Sutton Lodge team for working so hard in this heat, especially running up and down the stairs with no lift function, to still get their job done, and all with a positive attitude☀️
Together we have worked as a team to ensure our work is done, our residents are cared and provided for and supported, as well as ensuring they still have social interaction and activity stimulation 🫶
A huge thank you to you all from Andrea & Beth x

Another little mention and thanks to our residents on the first and second floors for being so patient with us during our technical issues regarding the lift 🛗
It has not been easy for anyone at our little lodge, but mostly our residents, and we thank them all for still being as positive and jolly as they can surrounding the circumstances 🌈

*Congratulations to our staff also for passing their Basic Life Support & AED training this week🌟 On Wednesday and Thursday, they sat in the lounge learning new skills and we are proud to say our team have passed successfully with flying colours like we knew they would⭐️
