Learning Challenge: Learn about sleep.

Learning Challenge: Learn about sleep.

I know I am not alone when I say I wish I had more sleep. After reading the article a few things started to make sense. I am a nightowl, always have been. Also I get up really early in the morning for work. Without any kind of external cues I would probably sleep well into the afternoon. This did confirm that my natural circadian rhythm is delayed. I did learn how I could start to improve it by possibly taking melatonin supplements early in the evening to get the sleepiness to kick in at an earlier time. I might invest in doing that so I can possibly get more sleep and not have to crash on the weekends.

Learning Challenge: Desk Stretching

For those of you who spend all day on a computer or sitting down for work it is easy to forget to stretch or get up to walk around. I have been doing desk work for a multitude of years and have been there. After doing some research I learned of some stretches that you can do while you are sitting at your workstation or desk. They are actually yoga exercises which, as some know involve stretching. This article is the one I really enjoyed the most and all 6 of the exercises (shoulder rolls, open chest stretch, neck stretch, chair twist, reverse prayer pose and twisted arms) I do on a daily basis, either at home or work. My body does not feel as stiff as it did before doing these.
