You’ll often hear that a holistic approach is vital for complete wellness, but what does it mean to be holistic? A holistic approach to wellness addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual well being of a person. But for many people, tackling all areas of self-care at once can be very challenging. Luckily, the RightLife app embraces a holistic approach to your wellness through simple and customizable steps.
A holistic approach recognizes that our physical, mental, and spiritual health are all interconnected. What affects one area will undoubtedly affect the others. For instance, chronic stress can manifest physically as headaches or insomnia; mentally as anxiety; and spiritually as a feeling of existential crisis. This goes both ways, positive changes in one area can also benefit the others. At RightLife, we recognise the interconnectedness of physical health and mental well-being.
RightLife uses a range of advanced features like HealthCam and Voice Scan through the My Health section. Both of them, when used together, can improve your holistic health considerably. And the best part is that they can be accessed at pocket-friendly prices. With HealthCam, our facial scan feature, any user can get an overview of their health parameters in just 30 seconds. You can learn about any potential health risks that you may have related to diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other ailments. RightLife recommends that you use this scan once every month. This will help you compare results over time and observe any positive or negative changes in your mental and physical condition.
RightLife’s Voice Scan is also a very effective tool in helping you embrace a holistic approach towards your health. The Voice Scan is an innovative feature that provides insight into a person's mental health just by analyzing a sample of their speech. To get started, you will need to select a topic to speak on or you can even choose your own. The scanner will measure the variations in your voice and come up with a comprehensive report of your current mental state. The score will be based on different components of your voice such as clarity, pitch, pause duration and so on. Based on your results, the program will provide tailored exercises and stress relieving tips to help smooth out your voice and speech patterns. Much like the HealthCam feature, users have the option to regularly take voice scans as a proactive measure to gauge and compare their mental well-being. Doing so can help you gain valuable insights into your mental as well as emotional health over a period of time.
Apart from informing users of problems detected from face and voice scans, does RightLife offer ways to take action and make improvements? The answer is a resounding yes! To achieve holistic health, RightLife helps you prioritize physical fitness, mental health, nutrition and sleep. On the app, these are highlighted by the Move Right, Think Right, Eat Right and Sleep Right modules respectively.
When it comes to fitness, the Move Right module in the app provides daily workouts, progress tracking, and tips to steadily increase activity without leading to burnout. For nutritious meals, RightLife provides healthy recipes, personalized meal plans and workshops that ensure you eat right always.
The Sleep Right module addresses common sleep disorders that may affect users from having a good nighttime rest. To improve sleep, it offers sleep aids like soothing ambient sounds, resonators, nature sounds, sleeping stories and night ragas for a better night’s sleep. The fourth module - “Think Right” - addresses one of the biggest taboos of all - Mental health. Through engaging workshops and live classes, the module aims to destigmatize mental health by encouraging open conversations and highlighting the role of meditation to reduce stress.
For long-term success, consistency is key. Sooner or later, positive choices become second nature. RightLife addresses each aspect of health one by one or all at once. No judgements, just consistent support. Don't view holistic wellness as an all-or-nothing endeavor. Embrace the process with patience. Start optimizing your whole health today with RightLife .

Picture this: Even after a hectic day, you've put aside enough time to unwind and take part in your bedtime ritual. Your bedroom is cool, calm and dark, and you’re able to fall asleep and stay asleep without any trouble. You wake up next morning, even before your alarm clock rings, and feel well-rested. You are more energetic than usual and are prepared to take on the day.
If you haven't discovered it already, your sleep environment is often the deciding factor between a good night’s sleep and a restless night. This article will help you understand why it’s important along with several tips on how to create the ideal sleeping environment.
Why a good night’s rest is important
Everybody requires a good night’s rest to feel well in the physical as well as mental sense. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health. Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. Good sleep can maximize problem-solving skills and enhance memory.
Tips to create the ideal sleep environment
The most crucial aspect of idealizing the sleep environment is creating this perfect setting to enhance your rest and prevent getting drowsy to sleep and staying asleep for longer periods. You can now concentrate on what's around you and therefore bring about some easy tips to optimize your bedroom for better sleep. Here are the ways to create the perfect sleep environment:
- Reduce light exposure
Light plays a significant role in regulating your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, or circadian rhythm. Limit your usage of phones, tablets, and TVs because they emit blue light that has been reported to interrupt sleep inducing melatonin. In addition, consider the option of getting blue light blocking glasses or a filter to place over your screen.
- Reduce noise
Noise is one of the easiest things to interrupt when it comes to sleep, and it's not just noise that you might consciously be aware of, even background noises. Nighttime environmental noise can contribute to experiencing daytime sleepiness, diminished cognitive performance, and mood changes.
- Set a comfortable temperature
Sleepers' most common question is trying to know the best temperature for a good night's sleep. However, the temperature is different for every person, and it depends on the individual's body, preference, and tolerance to heat. Keep your room cool to avoid overheating, which can lead to restless tossing and turning. Additionally, you can use a fan to circulate air and keep the room comfortable.
- Comfortable bedding and pillow
Use breathable bedding, in natural materials like cotton or bamboo, to help regulate your body temperature. The comfort of the mattress, pillows, and bedding all contribute to the quality of your sleep. Buy a good mattress that allows you to sleep well and at the right level of support depending on your sleeping position. Whether it is firm or soft, it must ensure that it optimizes alignment for your spine and at the same time, rubbishes pressure points. A pillow also has to be selected for the right sleeping position. For example, side sleepers require thicker pillows for neck support while back or stomach sleepers tend to prefer thinner pillows.
How RightLife helps you create an ideal sleep environment
RightLife’s SleepRight program comes with various features such as sleep hygiene guidance, effective sleep aids, and regular workshops to create the perfect sleep environment for you. SleepRight ensures a restful environment for long-term benefits. Here’s how:
- Sleep Hygiene
The Sleep Hygiene section of RightLife helps you develop better sleep habits through a consistent sleep schedule and a relaxing bedtime routine. This will easily be able to regulate your internal clock, helping you fall asleep early as well as wake up fresh and revitalized. SleepRight encourages gentle sleeping options, such as reading or stretching, or even meditation.
- Sleep Aids
SleepRight has developed several sleep aids through which people can easily fall asleep and enhance their sleeping environment. The audio tools in this section help you fall asleep naturally. Those who love music will appreciate the comforting ragas that can be
quite a smooth transition to sleep. The Sleep Aids section also includes NSDR’s with nature sounds, short audio stories and resonators that make falling and staying asleep easier
- Sleep Workshops
To help users in continuous educational learning, SleepRight conducts regular workshops that offer essential information and good advice on the basis for developing and maintaining an ideal sleeping environment. These workshops help you understand how sleep cycle, circadian rhythms, and environmental factors influence quality of sleep. These workshops also teach techniques for relaxation, which includes deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided meditation. So, all these can help in reducing your anxiety and getting your body ready for sleep.
It is really essential that the quality of your sleep also reflects on your mental and physical health, and therefore, you should never take it lightly. A sleep disorder, if untreated, can lead to some serious health issues. Make your bedroom environment conducive to a good night's sleep. Some simple tweaks can make your bedroom a sleep haven. Be kind to your body. It deserved some hours of undisturbed sleep before it could battle the pressures of the next day. Register with RightLife today to experience the difference.
Have you ever gone to sleep in your bed and woken up on the couch of your living room? Or perhaps you woke up in the kitchen hunting for a midnight snack? What’s happening with you is actually termed as ‘sleepwalking’. More common among children than adults, sleepwalking can put you at a higher risk of suffering physical injuries. So, whether it’s you or a loved one who sleepwalks, don’t pass it off as something trivial. This article will tell you everything you need to know about sleepwalking and how to get rid of this behaviour.
What is sleepwalking?
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is classified as a parasomnia that involves walking or performing activities while in deep sleep. In sleepwalking, you get up from your bed and start walking around even though you are actually asleep. In such a state, you are stuck between wakefulness and sleep which is why you probably won’t have any memory of the event.
Symptoms of sleepwalking
During an episode of sleepwalking, you may sit up, walk around, and even perform ordinary activities — all while sleeping. Your eyes might be open, but you’re actually still in a deep state of sleep. Contrary to popular belief, sleepwalking doesn’t always include walking! Here are symptoms of sleepwalking:
- Have a glazed, glassy-eyed expression
- Don’t respond or talk to others
- Attempt to get dressed, cook or do other routine chores
- Experience confusion after waking up
What causes sleepwalking?
Sleepwalking usually has multiple causes, and the causes of sleepwalking can differ from one individual to another. Some of the most common causes of sleepwalking include:
- Genetics, as sleepwalking tends to run in families
- Other sleep disorders, like sleep apnea, that interrupt one’s sleep
- Illnesses and fevers
- Chronic sleep deprivation
- Migraines
- Certain medications including sleeping pills
- Head or brain injuries
Why is sleepwalking dangerous?
Sleepwalking becomes dangerous only when the possibility exists of the sleepwalker accidentally injuring himself or herself. Though most episodes of sleepwalking are harmless, there are times when it can be dangerous if you are not careful.
For example, a sleepwalker might wander outside the house, exposing themselves to traffic or natural elements. Within the home, sleepwalkers may attempt unsafe tasks such as using kitchen appliances or handling sharp objects. They can also fall down stairs or trip over objects while sleepwalking. In some instances, sleepwalkers can engage in risky behaviours like attempting to drive, putting both themselves and people on the road at serious risk.
How to reduce sleepwalking
In many cases, sleepwalking requires no active treatment because episodes are rare and pose little risk to the sleeper or those around them. However, there are times when such episodes are so frequent that they disrupt your own sleep routine and also trouble others around you. In such cases, RightLife’s SleepRight program can help you treat sleepwalking with the proper observance of sleep hygiene and using sleep aids.
Sleep Aids
Among the best features of SleepRight would be sleep aids - soothing short audio stories and resonators, nature sounds, or comforting ragas that prepare your mind and body for restful, uninterrupted sleep. Sleep aids with calming music and sounds are useful in promoting a better quality sleep which reduces the chances of a sleepwalking episode.
Sleep hygiene
The SleepRight program also promotes sleep hygiene management, which is important in regulating sleepwalking. It helps you maintain a routine before bedtime and an environment that facilitates sleep. SleepRight suggests that maintaining regular sleep, having your bedroom quiet, cool and free of disturbances, helps to improve sleep hygiene. Reducing screen time before bedtime and not drinking caffeine or alcohol close to bedtime can also improve sleep hygiene.
Another approach of the SleepRight program is safety measures. In scenarios where the sleepwalker has the tendency to perform harmful acts it provides useful recommendations like locking doors, securing windows, and clearing the bedroom from any probable obstacles in the event that can cause harm during an episode.
Sleepwalking is an intriguing phenomenon. The fact that you're sleeping while performing physical feats is pretty amazing. How can a person be unconscious but still coordinate his or her limbs in order to walk, talk and, sometimes, even drive? How do we know when we're really awake?
It prevents sleepwalking but improves overall sleep quality by combining the soothing effects of sleep aids with effective sleep hygiene practices. The comprehensive approach SleepRight provides addresses not only the root causes of sleepwalking but also promotes better sleep health over the long term. Take your nights back with the help of SleepRight today and dream safely to prevent sleepwalking and enjoy deep restful sleep tonight.
Life is full of changes whether it is moving to a new city, starting a new job, starting your own family, or even going through any sort of health changes that require special attention. With every change that we experience as we journey through life, it brings its own set of challenges and disruptions, especially when it comes to fitness and health. Working hard and trying your best to maintain your routine and staying fit is a challenge that is quite difficult to overcome. Staying active and healthy through everything is not as easy as it looks, but it is also very important to do so in order to keep your mental well-being in check and being able to focus on your overall health too. By using fitness apps that can understand these transitions in your life such as RightLife, you can ensure to keep working towards it at your pace and time, without the overburdening sense of anxiety and stress seeping in.
Flexibility In Your Routine
With new changes, there are new schedules that need to be kept in check. So it is very important to be able to understand and accept being flexible with your routines and making necessary changes to your workouts so it is not stopped entirely. Instead of being strict and rigid which could lead to feeling demotivated, try to change things around while keeping your goals and target in mind. Maybe change your workout timings or involve shorter and quick routines like high intensity interval training that can be finished in a quick 20 minutes. Using the MoveRight program on RightLife let’s you access a range of workshops and live classes with experts to help you get the workout right, thereby making sure your posture and poses are correct to improve your overall fitness well-being and also have someone overlooking your targets from the ease and comfort of your own home. Being able to adapt to newer changes and bringing them into your workout routine will help you to keep staying motivated and consistent.
Be Consistent
Instead of letting life get in the way of your health and fitness goals, find dedicated focus timings for your workout. Plan a routine that you can stick to despite all the changes and challenges that life may throw at you. If you were someone who was used to religiously going to the gym for 1 hour every single day, but now cannot find the time to do the same thing, think of bringing in a 15 or 20 minute routine to your home workout instead. Being consistent is far more important than being dedicated to what your body is otherwise used to. RightLife experts understand how to help you out with maintaining a routine and schedule that can make sure you are not feeling demotivated and losing your progress.
Importance of Mindfulness
As we go through changes in life, there are also anxiety and stress related issues that we need to take care of and be mindful about. These can negatively impact the body and cognitive functionality which can be improved by incorporating some minutes of mindfulness with the workout. It helps to manage stress in a more effective and consistent manner, and improves overall fitness levels as well. RightLife focuses specifically on the mind and knows the importance of mental well-being as part of a holistic approach to health, to help control and handle physical and emotional health.
Professional Guidance
The disruptions that changes bring about can also make it difficult to actually follow a routine and maintain the same level of fitness that you were initially dedicated towards. It might also be important to seek professional help for the same in terms of getting a workout routine or a plan that you can easily follow. RightLife not only focuses on fitness, mental well-being, sleep, and diet for individuals, but also has their own fitness experts across these segments who know how to help people to reach their intended targets. They help to curate a personalised plan keeping in mind the challenges one faces and the level of fitness they are comfortable with. To accommodate the new changes one might be going through, having a dedicated expert with you will help to feel like you can come back on track, without being alone through this endeavour.
Navigating these challenges through life is something we all have to go through at some point. A new job may bring with it longer working hours, a new city to move to comes with its own set of problems right from finding the right space to even making new friends. A heartbreak is a painful process that can also lead to not wanting to move from your space for days on end. But embracing these difficulties, and seeking help and support, can make it a little easier to get through. By staying active, adding movement throughout the day, and incorporating mindfulness for yourself can ease out the difficult ordeal all alone. Through RightLife you have the tools and necessary means to support this journey and to thrive. These little proactive steps can make sure the fitness goals are met, without straying off track for very long.
Exercise can seem almost scary and such a daunting task if you are someone who is suffering with a chronic condition or has physical limitations of any kind. However, being able to stay active is not only crucial for overall health, but also helps to enhance mood, improve cognitive functioning, and help to create a better quality of life. With RightLife there are plans that are curated specifically targeting each individual's fitness levels, their targets, and keeping in mind their schedule along with how much they can accomplish in a day. The MoveRight program has a range of workout routines with their live classes, workshops, and expert guidance along with finding like minded individuals to help create a social support group that will keep you motivated and brings a sense of accountability to make sure you are reaching your fitness targets.

Since you are someone with chronic pain or a physical limitation, the first most important step before starting on your workout and fitness journey is to consult with a healthcare professional or your physician to understand the types of workout you are allowed to do. There might be certain types of exercises or routines that might not be suitable for your condition, and keeping that in mind it is important to get approval. With MoveRight there are a range of live classes and workshops that are specifically curated for every individual to help them achieve their goals. Right from high intensity interval training to yoga, RightLife has a wide range of workout routines that can suit your body and fitness levels.
Take Baby Steps
Once you can start exercising and have a routine to follow, it is very important to start slowly and take small steps. Set a list of goals you want to achieve that are easy at first, even something as simple as workout for 5 days a week. This will help you feel confident, motivated, and not create a sense of an overwhelming burden of not being able to reach the targets. The first step to finally getting back to a workout regime or starting afresh is to start with something basic and easy to finish, like maybe a simple yoga routine or even a 15 minute walk to tune your body to start incorporating movement in your daily life.
Easy Exercise, More Flexibility
For someone with chronic pain or any physical limitations, it is always suggested to select low impact workouts. Anything too extreme can add to the pain in the body and also increases the risk of any type of injury, which slows the body down drastically. Exercises like yoga, cycling, or even using MoveRight’s programs of live classes to suit what your body can accommodate with our expert guidance is the right way to focus on low-impact workouts. Doing more flexibility and strength training is more crucial to reduce muscle stiffness, and building on core strength. All of this will help to maintain muscle mass and help to enhance and support overall mobility.
Rest & Recover
Every single person who follows a dedicated workout routine, despite their health conditions, knows the importance of giving their body time to rest and recover. These are very vital aspects of following a healthy lifestyle change and especially with chronic pain conditions, it is even more crucial to give yourself this. Rest days play an important role in giving your body the time to recover and repair itself so you can maintain your momentum and continue to stay dedicated to your regime. However if you continue to absolutely love and enjoy moving on every single day, then doing some light stretching or even walking on your rest days are a light and easy way to let your body feel rested while also boosting your mood!
Being consistent is the biggest factor in adapting to a healthy lifestyle. It is very normal and perfectly okay to face some setbacks but being able to bounce back and continue working towards the targets is what will set you apart. It determines the impact and the determination one has to change their lifestyle for the better. While you are going through this chronic pain condition, it is also very important to be very patient and thoughtful about your own body. To think of exercise and workout in a manner that is not very hard or strenuous to yourself. Speaking to a professional, starting small, and being mindful while setting easy achievable goals are a great way to incorporate a good routine to your everyday life without making it feel very daunting and difficult.
Achieving fitness goals in today’s fast paced, hectic life can seem like a difficult task and almost impossible to achieve. Having to balance work deadlines, social pressures, and even provide enough time for family, can take up all the hours in a day while still not having enough time for oneself. Being able to focus on your well-being and mindfulness, and dedicating some time in the day for your fitness means having to add it in your to-do list. Without making it feel like a burden and a daunting task, fitness targets are easy to overlook and forget about because of lack of time, no motivation, and an overall lethargy that settles in. However, with RightLife this can be far easier to achieve than one can imagine. The guidance of the experts, along with live workshops and classes, and finding a group that believes in the same mode of life that you are trying to work towards helps to create an environment of encouragement, motivation, and one that is supportive in every sense.
Why Realistic Goals Matter?
Setting realistic and achievable goals is important to help you maintain consistency and work towards your long term fitness targets as compared to stopping it midway. When overambitious goals are set, it eventually leads to burnout, fatigue, and frustration because adapting to a healthy lifestyle requires patience and dedication. Realistic and achievable goals help in feeling more confident and build up on wanting to achieve more as you keep progressing on your continuous upwards chart. With the help and guidance of the experts on the MoveRight program, they help you set your targets while keeping in mind your fitness levels, how much time you can dedicate throughout the day for your workout, and help you keep a track of your progress thereby motivating you everyday. These goals help to make sure that you can maintain them without risking any injury to yourself.
How To Set Realistic Goals?
In order to set realistic goals that you can achieve from the comfort of your own home, there are few important steps to keep in mind.
- Your Fitness Level: It is very important to know and understand where you stand in terms of your fitness levels before you can set any targets and start a workout routine. If you are someone who has been working out for a while, then you can take up more intense regimes as compared to someone who might just be starting out. Using RightLife to track your levels and progress, you can find out the best exercises for yourself that will help you to reach your targets in the time frame you have in mind.
- What Do You Want To Achieve: List down clearly exactly what you are aiming to achieve with your fitness goals - whether it is weight loss, wanting to become stronger, increasing movement throughout the day, or aiming for overall wellness. This will help you to set your targets in a more concise manner and one that is far more achievable.
- Set A Timeline: Goals cannot be set without a timeline in place. By keeping in mind your everyday schedule, and using expert guidance from RightLife, you can lay out a plan to help you reach your goals. Make a detailed plan that will list down your timings, routine, and even nutrition and diet tips to help you achieve it in your intended timeline.
- Track Progress: Without tracking your progress, you will never know how close you are to your goals. It is very important to have a good chart to see how much you have achieved. With apps like RightLife, it not only tracks your overall progress, but also logs your workouts, helps you see your achievements, and allows you to celebrate these wins with your support group on the app!
While maintaining your consistency and dedication is of topmost priority, there are moments where the same type of workout may end up feeling boring and tiresome. With MoveRight there are a range of different workouts that you can choose from to help switch things around whenever needed to avoid feeling like you are in a rut. By changing your workouts from time to time, you not only feel motivated and energised, but you also target different parts of your body to reach your goals that much faster. Another thing that seems almost impossible to believe when trying so hard to reach your targets is the importance of giving your body a break and some rest time at least once a week. This will help you to recover your exerted muscles, and give a boost of energy for the rest of the week to make sure you stick to your program. With careful planning, setting timelines, and having people around you to motivate and cheer you on, these goals that you decide to achieve are far more in reach than might otherwise seem possible. Remember, it needs to be an enjoyable process and not an exhausting one.
Emails, meetings, and deadlines – is your work day always keeping you busy, occupied, and tired?
Have you been feeling a lot overwhelmed and stressed lately?
So much that you sometimes miss out on important information or your productivity goes out for a toss?
Well, staying focused and productive at work can be challenging, especially, when you are dealing with tight deadlines, work-life balance, daily commutes, and of course other responsibilities.
Mindfulness is a technique that helps you manage stress, improve concentration, and uplift your overall well-being. But how do you incorporate it into your work day? Let's understand.
Mindfulness!
Being present in the moment and immersing yourself in the present is an act of mindfulness. It allows you to pay attention to your feelings, emotions, thoughts, and sensations so you can focus, regulate emotions, and reduce stress.
Mindfulness also helps in reducing distractions, building resilience, and making thoughtful decisions.
Incorporating mindfulness into your work day!
Indeed a work day is all about getting ready in the morning and reaching the office on time. Sometimes it can include endless meetings from the morning to tireless working through the day. And to think of adding more to an already stressful routine can sound overwhelming. But it's not.
Mindfulness is about adapting certain practices into your lifestyle that you effortlessly undertake every day and it becomes a way of life to feel better and live better. Here is how you can incorporate mindfulness into your workday!
A mindful morning routine
How you begin your day sets the tone for how your day goes. Take some time out to create a mindful morning routine. This includes a few simple practices like:
1. Breathing exercises: Focus on how you breathe. Sit down crosslegged on a soft surface and spend a few minutes focusing on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through the mouth. This simple practice helps reduce stress and calm you down.
2. Meditation: Meditate for a few minutes. This could include chanting a mantra, focusing on your inner self, getting into a yoga asana, or simply focusing on breath.
3. Positive Affirmations: Set the tone right with some positive affirmations that add positivity and gratitude to your day. If you can't think of it yourself, RightLife App offers daily positive affirmations through its ThinkRight feature where you can practice positive affirmations on a daily basis.
Mindful eating
Have you been eating your food in a rush or while talking to your colleague? Did you know that your body might not be absorbing the nutrients from the food and all the digestive problems you might have can be because of ignorant eating? It's time to be mindful when eating food. Avoid multitasking and pay attention to the flavours, textures, and aroma of your food. Chew the food thoroughly and take time to enjoy your meal.
Take regular breaks
It is not the uninterrupted working hours that bring productivity, but the little breaks of respite that enhance your focus and productivity levels. Take short breaks in between tasks to give your mind a respite from the screen and begin working afresh. Take a short walk in the office, catch up with a colleague, or just climb a flight of stairs – simple movements can be great for keeping your body and mind active. A simple hack is the Pomodoro technique where you work for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break. Repeat this cycle and take a longer break every 4 hours.
Mindful Listening
Have you found yourself zoned out of a meeting or conversation with a colleague? This could be because you aren't paying your full attention to listening to them. Listen to the person speaking with full intent and understanding. Take non-verbal cues like body language, gestures, and facial expressions to understand what they are talking about and how. Repeat what you understood to gain more clarity and avoid miscommunications.
Setting mindful intentions
It's not uncommon to get distracted while working on something important or lose interest midway. The key to overcoming this is setting mindful intentions. Start your work with clear and mindful intentions. Make a list of tasks and prioritize them based on importance and deadlines. Focus on one task at a time to improve your focus and efficiency. Set achievable goals and break larger tasks into smaller tasks to ace through them.
Mindful workspace
A workspace full of clutter only creates distraction and chaos. Declutter and make your workspace more organized. Every evening take time out to clear off your desk, organize your day’s clutter, and leave the workspace clean and organized. This way you will always have an organized start to your day. Add in a small plant, or natural elements to have positivity around.
End your day mindfully
Your work day doesn’t end with you completing the tasks, it ends when you can happily disconnect from work and go back to your personal life. Take a few minutes out to review your day, and reflect on what is accomplished and things you are grateful for! And finally, when you leave your workspace, ensure that you disconnect from emails and constant office buzz to unwind and make a clear distinction between work and life.

Just like the seasons, the amount of sleep we need also changes as we age. Some of the factors that influence our sleep are our routines and overall health as well. Age is an important factor that influences how long we sleep, when we want to go to bed and wake up, and how deeply we are able to sleep. This article will help you understand everything you need to know on why sleep is important and the total amount of sleep you need by age.
Why is sleep so important?
Sleep is an important function that recharges your body and the mind, giving you a refreshed mind and alert feeling when you wake up. Healthy sleep, on the other hand, benefits the body by making it healthy, ensuring it doesn't catch diseases. In such a case, if your body doesn't get enough sleep, your brain wouldn't carry out its functions well, which would negatively impact you in several ways, ranging from focus issues to processing of memories.
Health risks associated with sleep deprivation
Research has shown that sleep deprivation impacts all organ systems, and a wide range of negative effects are associated with it:
- Daytime sleepiness
Inability to get enough sleep is the most common cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. Daytime sleepiness can make one unable to perform the activities they like and causes issues with work or school and even in interpersonal relationships.
- Impaired mental functions
One of the most noticeable effects of sleep loss is cognitive impairment. As sleep deprivation grows, a person becomes less alert and may have difficulty multitasking. A decreased attention span can make a sleep-deprived person more prone to mistakes, increasing the risk of a workplace or vehicular accident.
- Mood changes
Lack of sleep can lead to mood changes and cause a person to feel more anxious or depressed. Sleep-deprived people are easily irritated, frustrated and feel a lack of motivation.
- Reduced immunity
Since sleep is important for maintaining a healthy immune system, sleep deprivation can weaken your immunity. In fact, research suggests that people who are sleep deprived are less responsive to the flu vaccine and are more likely to get infections like the common cold.
- Weight gain
Sleep is important for maintaining a healthy weight. Not getting enough sleep can affect appetite and metabolism in ways that can lead to weight gain. Insufficient sleep has been associated with an increased risk of obesity.
How many hours of sleep do you need by age?
Though 7 hours of sleep is the ideal duration of sleep that most adults should aim to get, your sleep needs and patterns are bound to change as you grow older. Moreover, younger children may not fit within this 7 hour bracket of sleep recommendation. You can consider these general guidelines from the National Sleep Foundation for all age groups:
- Newborn (0-3 months old) need 14-17 hours of sleep
- Infant (4-11 months old) need 12-15 hours of sleep
- Toddler (1-2 years) need 11-14 hours of sleep
- Preschool (3-5 years) need 10-13 hours of sleep
- Children (6-13) need 9-11 hours of sleep
- Teenagers (14-17) need 8-10 hours of sleep
- Adults (18-64) need 7-9 hours of sleep
- Older adults (65+) need 7-8 hours of sleep
How to prioritize quality over quantity
Sleep quality is a far better metric than the quantity of sleep because the amount of sleep you get every night is just one indicator of sleep health. Sleep quality takes a lot more into account than just the duration of sleep. It considers the different sleep stages and other metrics like alertness, efficiency, satisfaction, and so on. In other words, sleep quality includes sleep quantity while also looking at other facets of your sleeping habits.
Thus, the SleepRight program by RightLife will train on improving the quality of your sleep rather than just the number of hours you get to rest. Most people believe that the more hours someone sleeps, the better rested they are; however, the truth lies in the quality.
- Sleep Aids for better rest
Among SleepRight features is its sleep aids collection that includes short audio stories, resonators, and soothing sounds of nature. These tools help you relax your mind and body, easing your way into a more restful state. When these aids are introduced into your bedtime routine, falling asleep becomes faster, yet simultaneously provides sleep that is deeper and allows for restorations. It then helps to promote quality sleep because of this effort on relaxation and winding down, so this leads you to wake up refreshed without needing extra hours in bed.
- Sleep hygiene
Your bedtime routines and sleep environment that can either make or break the quality of your sleep. SleepRight teaches you how to create a calm atmosphere free from distractions like bright screens and loud noises. Good sleep hygiene practices involve maintaining a regular sleep schedule, keeping your room cool and dark, avoiding anything that makes you take caffeine or heavy meals close to bedtime, and many other practices. Basically, these practices can drastically improve the quality of sleep.
The good news is that many sleep problems improve and even disappear when you take the right steps to treat them. However, taking short naps between the day to recharge won’t help you recover from the insufficient sleep you get every night.
There are some people who can argue that the number of hours doesn't really matter because they can function well with 6 hours of sleep alone. However, these people don't realize the impact of having a good night's sleep, and the symptoms that accompany sleep deprivation.
In conclusion, RightLife's SleepRight program helps you prioritize quality sleep over quantity by offering personalized tools, addressing sleep disorders, and promoting essential sleep hygiene practices. By focusing on deep, restorative sleep, SleepRight ensures that you wake up refreshed and energized, even without increasing the hours you spend in bed. Join RightLife today to take the first step toward improving your sleep and overall well-being.
