NEW Whole Life Challenge Habit: Sleep replaces Supplementation
Why we changed the Habit: Sleep has a profound influence on your overall health and well-being, and deserves a place among our 7 Daily Habits. Supplementation is important, but does not have the same overall impact on your wellness as sleep duration and quality. Therefore, we decided to switch them out, giving Sleep a permanent spot in the Challenge.
The thing to understand: Getting seven to nine hours of sleep isn’t possible for everyone.Therefore, you’ll be responsible for your own sleep prescription, choosing a sleep duration goal that fits your life while challenging you to improve your sleep habits.
The goal: get as much sleep as you can within your lifestyle, and make positive, incremental change to your current habits.
What this means for Players: Starting with the January 2016 Challenge, Sleep will replace Supplementation as one of the 7 Daily Habits.
- Sleep is now a permanent Daily Habit in the Challenge
- Supplementation is still part of a healthy lifestyle, but will no longer be included in the Challenge
- You’ll choose your own prescription: the amount of sleep you need each night to get your 5 Sleep Points
- The Whole Life Challenge is not about one or two Habits—it’s about all of them
