Today’s #ConstructionSafetyWeek topic is Be Safe, Be Well Rested. The construction industry often comes with early hours, long commutes and nightshift work. This can interrupt your body’s natural sleep/wake cycle and can have major consequences on your physical and mental health. Some simple things you can do to improve your quality of sleep, overall well-being, and safety on the jobsite include:
🏋🏼 Exercise – the more energy you expel during the day, the easier it is for your body to enter a restful sleep
🍎 Food & Beverage – avoid heavy meals before bedtime and caffeinated drinks within 6 hours of bedtime
😴 Sleep Routine – stay consistent with your bedtime and waketime, even on the weekends
🥱 Sleep Quantity – aim for 7+ hours of sleep per night
🛏 Sleep Environment – your sleep area should be dark, free of distraction and noise, and keep it cool – around 68 degrees
