Good morning Sourcing Hub,

Do you ever feel tired or unproductive at work? Keep reading - you wouldn't be alone! It's not uncommon to reach a midday slump or for energy levels to change after a weekend or break away from work. But don't lose hope or your focus - there are several tips and tricks to tackle this feeling from implementing an ideal night-time routine for better sleep to ensuring you have a balanced diet and regular physical exercise for energy.


But I will be sharing a tip as old as time, a tip that several scientific studies have shown a short one can have a positive impact on both your physical and mental health - that's a lot of relaxation packed into just a few minutes! 😊


Stress Less Tip for the Month


HAVE YOU TRIED A NAP?

You may think napping during the day is a no-no, especially in such a large organisation, but studies have shown that a quick snooze (not a full-on sleep session) can improve your cognitive function by up to 34%![1] That means, you can actually be more productive by taking a nap!

Napping can also reduce your stress levels and help if you're ever feeling a little grumpy or groggy by triggering the release of endorphins to boost your mood and overall wellbeing.

Of course, you don't want to overdo it as a nap that's too long can make you feel worse and less productive, so if you’re ever feeling a lack of energy or focus, set a timer for no longer than 10-20 mins and have a nap or rest your eyes. After all, a well-rested employee is a productive employee!
