Health Healthy Sleep

Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

Linda Silva 10/22/2018 1:41 PM

I would like to have healthier sleeping patterns. 7-8 hours of sleep at night is essential for me as a student athlete, especially since studies have shown that athlete with better sleeping schedules are less prone to injury. Sleeping at a decent time, allows me to get enough sleep and be able to wake up early the next day to be productive.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle

While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

Linda Silva 10/12/2018 9:31 AM

Barriers that prevent making this a new habit could be not having designated spots to refill the water bottle when necessary. Sometimes its not so easy taking in an already filled bottle to certain destinations and therefore making purchasing a new bottle inevitable. To set myself up for success, I will stop buying bottled water and carry a reusable water wherever I can.
