Sleep and recovery: start with regular timing
Sleep deserves a place alongside exercise and meals. A first change can be a more predictable bedtime and wake-up time.
Habits
Breaks from sitting: movement during the workday
A long workday can pass with almost no change of position. Brief breaks are a convenient way to interrupt that pattern.
Put it into practice
Stand between tasks, walk to get water or have a short conversation standing if comfortable. A break does not need to become a workout.
Things to keep in mind
If you have pain, consider your workstation as well as how often you stand. Persistent symptoms, numbness or weakness deserve assessment.
Your next step
- Link a break to a task
- Change position
- Adjust your workspace
