Sleep & movement link
Poor sleep steals next-day walks; evening buffers protect both rest and tomorrow's movement.
Sleep targets
Most adults aim 7–9 hours; consistent wake time stabilizes energy for walks and desk breaks.
Evening buffer
- 30–60 min without work email
- Dim lights
- Phone outside bedroom
Snoring awareness
Loud snoring or unrefreshing sleep—discuss with clinicians; sleep quality affects daytime movement willingness.
