How about that- we are in our final week of the Step Challenge already! It’s also Easter week, so we need to amp up the step count to make up for any additional chocolate or easter bun consumption!

Our focus this week is on sleep. Here is our chance to think about how we can do better. We bet that most of you say that you feel tired, at least once a week (or probably often throughout the week). Sleep is so important for our brain and body to recover and rest. We know we perform better with sleep. We also know that evidence proves that a lack of sleep is as bad as drinking too much alcohol and can cause accidents and mistakes to occur.

This week spend some time thinking about what you do in the final few hours before going to bed and how you rise in the morning. Removing your phone from the bedroom or away from the bed is a very good practice to allow time for calming the brain. Also, waking and getting out of bed as soon as the first alarm sounds is beneficial (don’t let the snooze button habit creep in).

To help you this week, we have added some mindfulness activities for you. These are great at calming your thoughts, emotions and constant over-thinking thinking.

Don’t forget to keep tracking your daily accomplishments on the Tracker in the playlist!

The Tracker can be found on the challenge playlist here.
