Optimising Sleep

Sleep and sleep deprivation are great influencers on our emotions and physical wellbeing.

Without adequate rest, the body's mental and physical capacity diminishes with a reduction in co-ordination, concentration and coherence. While it is inevitable that there will always be some incidences of poor sleep, prolonged poor recovery heightens the rIsk of burnout, chronic fatigue and illness.

Optima-life using Firstbeat HEALTH will evaluate the quality of physiological recovery achieved during your sleep period. In addition to assessing the quality of your sleep, we can also assess the effectiveness of different sleep strategies.

Case study

Working hours outside of the normal working day can have a major effect on the body clock and the ability to recover.
 
The graphs show a marked difference in recovery patterns for this shift worker.

Early shift shows good levels of recovery
Late Shift shows a more disturbed sleep pattern particularly at the start of the sleep cycle
Night Shift shows no recovery at all

Sleep is our most deliberate behaviour and biggest opportunity to recover. Make sure you are giving your body and mind the best chance to refresh and re-energise.
