THE DAILY MARATHONAre you working like a marathon runner? On any given day, it can feel as though we need three hands and another set of ears to stay on top of the endless emails and phone calls generated by our work. Arriving at the office early, working through lunch and leaving after 5 seems like the best way to manage the influx… right? If you have found yourself working or thinking this way, you are not alone. |

Activity
SWITCH OFFWe know that our biggest battery recharger is at night when we sleep, but did you know that the quality of your sleep can be dramatically impacted by the use of screens at night. Blue light emitted from digital devices impacts our body’s ability to produce melatonin, our sleep inducing hormone.
