Holiday Vibes. Rest Up With Your Best Sleep

Feet Up. Head Down. It’s Holiday Siesta Time!

Holiday vibes! It’s all sunshine and sleeping in. There’s not a care in the world. Soak up the quiet family time, or chase down where the party’s at. You can sleep into the afternoon. Indulge the time where you can take your head out of the work zone.

The festive season is when you press “pause”, for sure. But there’s also a smart opportunity to reflect on the things that matter to you most. How’s your year been? What’s the year ahead looking like? Funny how sleep, rest and lots of little naps seem to always be the real ‘holiday’ we so desperately need. Now why would that be?

Sleep – the best thing under the sun

Well, it’s the best thing under the moon. But when you start working from weekend to weekend, holiday to holiday – or heaven forbid, taking sudden sick leave – maybe you don’t have your best sleep vibe going on.

It’s not taking time off work that gets you all relaxed and drowsy. It really is, actually, the sun. We spend far too much time indoors through the work months. On holiday, suddenly we find ourselves getting out a little more, catching some of those rays. What we’re also catching is a little more melatonin. Exposure to natural sunlight should be an everyday human experience. Come night time, our body releases that melatonin, induces a yawn or seven, and then takes our heads off to dreamland. It’s the way things have been for a gazillion years. There’s no use ignoring our biological reality. 

Reset and reschedule your sleep

Really? On holiday? Reset and reschedule?

Absolutely. Being away from work means quality time to concentrate on yourself. A work pause is giving you the opportunity to stop and take your mind off things. Use it to concentrate on a little “me” time.

Holiday time can let bad habits like afternoon naps creep in. That’s okay. You probably need them. But be mindful soon to get yourself back to the regular sleep pattern that suits you best. Afford yourself the proper amount of deep, quality sleep that you would naturally need each night. It’s called your circadian rhythm. We all have one. It’s like getting your mojo back.

By resetting your sleep back to normal, you’ll afford yourself the proper rest and recuperation that your body requires. And you’ll have more energy to enjoy a slightly more active and adventurous holiday time!
