Better Rest Starts With Your Environment: 5 Small Changes to Try — Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation™ The Power of Nurses: Recharge & Rise Challenge, sponsored by Humana — Day 7

Day 7 — Designing a Rest-Friendly Environment |
Sleep quality is strongly influenced by the environment. Light exposure, noise levels, temperature, and screen use all affect how easily the body transitions into restorative sleep.
Small adjustments can create conditions that support deeper rest and more consistent sleep patterns.
Your Action for Today
Choose one environmental change tonight:
- Reduce screen exposure before bed
- Adjust room temperature
- Minimize light and noise
- Create a calming sleep space
- Create a separate space for work, especially if you work remotely, to protect your rest environment
Even a single environmental adjustment can support deeper rest and help your body recharge more effectively.
Bonus: The Optimity app offers a short interactive quiz that goes a bit deeper with today’s focus. It’s a space to reflect on your experience so far, notice what supports a restful environment, and build awareness at your own pace. Once in the app, access Recharge & Rise in the challenges tab and scroll down to Challenge Quizzes to complete Rest-Friendly Environment.
