When our energy levels are low so is our motivation. Fatigue can make it hard to stay focused and concentrate, thus making our work much more tedious. Being tired at work is normal but when it becomes persistent then we know there is an issue.

Many of us are looking forward to Labor Day Weekend. It is a time to travel, spend time with family, and catch up on some needed relaxation. One of the things we can recommend is taking things a bit slower. No need to race into the weekend-- instead pace yourself, and plan ahead.

Making changes to your sleep schedule can be difficult if not approached the right way; little changes help our body ease into this transition. By adjusting our sleep schedule little-by-little, with no more than 1-2 added hours, we are giving our body a chance to adapt.

Both coffee and alcohol can play a key role in limiting the stages of slumber our body truly reaches when sleeping. Instead, try a small glass of something with a calming effect, such as herbal tea or milk. But not too big of a glass, bathroom breaks can disrupt our sleep.

The best time to start your nightly routine is 30-60 minutes before you enter the bed. Something as simple as gentle stretches, deep breaths, meditating, or a warm bath can make a world of difference to your sleep pattern!

If you aren't ready for bed, avoid scrolling on your phone in bed. Alternatively, you can do a relaxing activity to help you unwind. After 20 minutes in bed, if you find yourself still awake, get up. You can become frustrated, which can lead to staying awake even longer.

Worrying about things can often affect the way we unwind-- and can often keep us from falling asleep. One of the tips we have seen work wonders is simply writing things down. Writing out your to-do list will help the next day feel less hectic.

Our bodies operate off an internal clock known as our circadian rhythm. It creates hormones that affect our body, letting us know when it is time for bed. Natural sunlight or bright light during the day helps keep your circadian rhythm healthy.
