Challenge Tips

Welcome to day 2 of the Strengthen Your Immunity, powered by Compass One challenge!

Getting plenty of sleep is SO important, but there’s another factor some people forget about: quality.

You can get all of the sleep in the world, but if it’s not restful sleep, it’s not going to do what it’s supposed to do.  

Healthy sleep can: 

• Improve productivity 
• Reduce stress and anxiety 
• Help ward off illness 
• Improve your quality of life 

Whether you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, there are some habits and routines that help make restorative rest more than just a dream.

Starting today, incorporate these into your lifestyle to improve your sleep quality: 

• Ditch your screens to avoid blue light exposure within an hour of bedtime 
• Expose yourself to natural light when you wake up 
• Skip alcoholic beverages close to bedtime 
• Eat sleep-friendly foods in the evenings, like cherries, turkey, bananas, or nuts 
• Make your bedroom a sleep sanctuary with blackout curtains, a cool but comfortable temperature, white noise, and lack of clutter
