This week's Stress Awareness Tip:
😴 S C H E D U L E S L E E P
A restful slumber has great restoring power. However, most people do not get enough sleep. While the amount of sleep necessary varies depending on age and health, most people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
While stress interferes with sleep patterns, so does an unstructured schedule. These inconsistent patterns create an unhealthy cycle that directly affects your sleep.
Create a schedule for yourself that outlines when you work, when you stop working, when you exercise and when you take time for yourself. Try to establish a schedule that benefits your needs and does not have you waiting until you are in bed to try and finally relax. Sleep should be part of the schedule! Your health depends on it.
How many hours of sleep do you usually get each night?
