Poster: Fight Fatigue with a good night's REST

Help your Coworkers get some REST

Encouraging employees to get a good night’s rest is great for their mental and physical health, and all around quality of life. It’s also been shown to significantly reduce fatigue.

While there’s a lot you can do in the workplace to minimise fatigue, such as promoting regular breaks and appropriate scheduling of shifts, there’s nothing as effective as a good night’s sleep. So what are the best ways for your staff members to maximise the quality of their sleep? We’ve combined them into a simple acronym called REST:

• Routine - go to bed and wake up at the same
  time every day – even on weekends.
• Exercise and diet - regular exercise promotes
  better sleep quality. So does cutting back on
  alcohol and big meals close to bedtime.
• Switch off - keep your sleeping area quiet and
  dark. Avoid bright screens for at least an hour
  before bedtime.
• Time out - make relaxation your goal,
  not sleep. Try relaxation techniques
  like breathing and meditation to clear
  your head.
