Newsletter: Accenture Internal Comms Wellbeing

Everyone is constantly juggling various aspects of life, from work and family to relationships and meal choices. Sometimes, it can feel like an endless loop throughout the day until you finally lay your head on the pillow for what should be a restful night's sleep.

But, are you genuinely getting a good night's sleep?🤔

Sleep is not just a luxury, but a necessity to be your best, as a well-rested mind is better equipped to handle stress, improves emotional resilience and helps you to navigate challenges with a clear head. Let's dig a little deeper shall we...


💤 Become a Productivity Powerhouse: Quality sleep directly impacts your productivity - think about making your favourite breakfast dish after a late night compared to an early night (one feels like it requires A LOT more effort!😩)

When you are well-rested, you can maintain focus for longer periods, keep your high energy levels throughout the day, and complete tasks more efficiently. This in turn improves your personal performance.

💤 Beware of the Caffeine Chronicles: The hero of many workday mornings is… caffeine! While many people feel a well-timed cup of coffee can instantly jumpstart your day, it's essential to use your coffee time wisely. Too much caffeine, especially regularly in the afternoon, could interfere with the balance of your sleep cycle, and this doesn't help too much with productivity. Like any superhero, it has its limits, so it helps to let caffeine (in all its forms - chocolate, tea, soda etc.) wear off before bedtime.

💤 Use Sleep as a Shield: Good sleep is like a sharpening stone for your mind. During the various sleep cycles, your brain consolidates memories, processes information, and enhances your cognitive functions. This means that after a good night's sleep, you wake up with a sharper mind, crucial for working effectively.


So, as you go through the routines and plans in your daily life, remember that a good night's sleep can contribute to how you feel and perform in the day, and caffeine could be more like an occasional guest star in your life, rather than the main act.☕🍫🫖...
