What will happen when we can’t sleep well? 🤔 Today, I’ve managed my time to join Healthy Sleep Seminar – Living Well Employee Resource Group (ERG). Thanks to Tom Langley and Alessia Magnone for organizing this session. And, big thanks to our Special Guest, Fiona Parkinson, for your time sharing this topic. 👩🏫 I’ve learnt that unwell sleep may cause issues than we could expect, especially, risks for shift workers. For example, inability to adjust between night & day shifts, road accidents, higher risks of occupational injury, absenteeism, error, or safety violation, etc. To all followers who are shift workers, I’m sharing my notes 📜 where these following 4 strategies for healthy sleep might be helpful to you: 1️⃣ Create a sleep sanctuary - ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool - avoid TV/devices in bed or in the hour prior to sleep - wear an eye-mask and earplugs 2️⃣ Create a sleep routine - a consistent pattern of winding down calms the minds - incorporate calming habits in your wind-down routine - sleep consistency is key for shift workers, what works best for you 3️⃣ Create a positive mindset - practice journaling - practice gratitude - practice mindfulness or mediation 4️⃣ Create healthy lifestyle habits - exercise daily - get plenty of sunlight, particularly if you work in an office - avoid stimulants - avoid a heavy meal late at night - take power naps if you need (but limit to 30 mins) I am proud that Baker Hughes is so committed and passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and that we demonstrate this globally through our ERGS and events like these. #WeAreBakerHughes #DiversityEquityInclusion

💤 Striking the Perfect Balance: Sleep and Work 💼 We often glorify the "burning the midnight oil" mentality, but quality sleep is the unsung hero of productivity. Here's how I manage to make sleep and work coexist harmoniously: ⏩Prioritize Sleep: Recognize that sleep is an investment, not a waste of time. Make getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep a non-negotiable part of your routine. ⏩Set a Consistent Schedule: Try to stick to a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock. ⏩Create a Bedtime Ritual: Establish a calming pre-sleep routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. It might be reading, meditating, or a warm bath. ⏩Optimize Your Workspace: Make your workspace efficient, so you can complete tasks during your work hours, reducing the need for overtime. ⏩Time Management: Prioritize your most important tasks during your peak energy times, which often align with your natural circadian rhythm. ⏩Avoid Overcommitting: Learn to say no when necessary. Overcommitting often leads to sleep deprivation and decreased productivity. ⏩Unplug Before Bed: Limit screen time before bedtime to reduce the impact of blue light on your sleep quality. ⏩Exercise Regularly: Physical activity can improve sleep quality. Just avoid intense workouts too close to bedtime. ⏩Hydrate and Eat Well: Stay hydrated, and choose balanced, nutritious meals. Avoid heavy, spicy, or high-sugar foods close to bedtime. Remember, a well-rested mind is sharper, more creative, and more productive. Embrace sleep as a valuable ally in your professional journey. 😴💪 #SleepAndWork #Productivity #Wellness

How well did you sleep last night? If it wasn't restful, brace yourself for a potential impact on your work performance today. It's not just a mere coincidence - a powerful connection exists between the quality of your sleep and your productivity levels during the day. Extensive research studies have uncovered the alarming consequences of poor sleep; reduced concentration, impaired decision-making, and a severe hit to your motivation levels. So, how do you improve your sleep quality and increase your productivity at work? Here are four tips recommended by experts: 👉 Set a consistent bedtime routine: Try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning - even on weekends. 👉 Create the right sleeping environment: Ensure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and calm. Use blackout curtains, earplugs, or soothing music if necessary. 👉 Limit screen time before bed: Blue light emitted by screens can suppress melatonin production, making it harder for you to fall asleep. Try to avoid screens for at least an hour before bedtime. 👉 Get enough exercise: Regular exercise can help you fall asleep more quickly and deeply. However, avoid vigorous exercise in the hours leading up to bedtime. By following these tips, you should be able to enjoy a better night's sleep and feel more energised and productive at work during the day. Remember, investing in your sleep quality increases your productivity and overall well-being.

Let's talk about navigating sleep challenges in demanding roles. Personally, the nature of my work means that there are periods when, inevitably, my relationship with sleep becomes strained. It's during these times that I have learned to apply structured rest strategies to help me restore when things are out of balance. In roles that push the boundaries of our endurance, the quest for quality sleep can become a battle in itself. Achieving restorative sleep amidst long shifts or irregular schedules is a challenge many face, one that demands innovative strategies to ensure our resilience doesn't diminish. For individuals navigating these high-stress environments, it's crucial to remember that while our roles may disrupt traditional sleep patterns, there are methods to mitigate these impacts. Implementing small yet significant changes, like establishing pre-sleep rituals and optimising our sleep environment, can assist us in restoring some of our sleep even during the most demanding periods. Tailoring sleep strategies to fit our unique circumstances can bolster our resilience, ensuring we're prepared to meet the challenges of our roles head-on. As we continue to push the limits in our demanding professions, let's also commit to prioritising our sleep health. By doing so, we not only enhance our personal resilience but also ensure we're at our best for those who rely on us. #resilience #sleephealth #highstress #shiftwork #resiliencerises

🌟Banish Burnout🌟Optimise Your Performance to Thrive in Life & Work: Executive Wellbeing Coach | Facilitator | Speaker
💤 Did you know that getting out of bed at night and doing something else can be beneficial for some people? Combining wellbeing coaching with Firstbeat Life data, my clients are able to see exactly what their sleep looks like. It's interesting to note that getting out of bed and finding rest through watching TV or reading can help on nights when sleep is a challenge. My client Louise was a poor, restless sleeper. She worked long hours and had a young family which meant stressful days, busy evenings and a real struggle to switch off in the evenings. Her Firstbeat profile below shows poor quality sleep at the start of her sleep cycle (seen in red) and the boost of recovery (seen in green) when she got up between 3-4:30am and found a new location, watched a relaxing programme on TV, allowing a shift in mindset, lowering of heart rate and increase in heart rate variability, allowing her to gain recovery even though she was not in bed asleep. For clients like Louise with poor quality sleep, our sessions also focussed on making lifestyle and small habit changes during the day that promote recovery and takes the pressure off her sleep period. By the end of our work together Louise was able to find activities in the day that promoted recovery, she developed a clear evening routine that promoted quality sleep and her overall stress and recovery scores dramatically improved. It's important to note that sleep patterns are different for everyone and influenced by a wide range of factors. It is best to consult with a medical professional before making any changes to your sleep routine. #sleepanalysis #healthylifestyle #evidencebasedwellbeing

Struggling with sleep? Quality sleep is crucial for maintaining workplace health and productivity – a lack of it can cause health problems, irritability, reduced performance, and increased sickness absence. Even more concerning, poor concentration caused by lack of sleep could also result in dangerous and costly workplace accidents, particularly in higher-risk industries such as those that operate heavy machinery, drive for work, or participate in manual labour. Here are some top tips to help improve your sleep quality: 🕒 Get into a routine! Try and make a habit of going to bed and waking up at the same time every day (even on weekends). This helps program your body and regulates your sleep pattern. 📱 Switch off your devices at least an hour before bed. Avoid scrolling on your phone or watching TV to reduce your blue light exposure as this can disrupt sleep. 🧘 Create a relaxing environment. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Things like blackout blinds, white noise machines, ear plugs, eye masks, and the use of a fan are all small adjustments that can make the room more comfortable. Don’t forget to use comfortable bedding and pillows too! 🚶 Keep active during the day. Moderate exercise during the day (even a brisk walk) can help to regulate your sleep patterns. ☕ Avoid stimulants such as coffee or caffeinated drinks, nicotine, and alcohol before bed. These can take a while to clear out of your system and can negatively impact sleep quality. Lastly, if you are having trouble drifting off to sleep, it’s OK. Rather than getting frustrated, try getting back up and doing a relaxing activity (reading a few pages of a book, for example) until you start to feel drowsy again. With just a few small changes you can prioritise a good night's sleep and your overall health and wellbeing. How many of these sleep habits do you already incorporate into your nighttime routine? #occupationalhealth #sleepquality
