Losing sleep over our use of gadgets

As I was enjoying reading the Metro this morning on the train, an article by Tariq Tahir stood out, 'We are losing sleep over our use of gadgets'. It was interesting to read that just under half of us spend up to 90 minutes on laptops, tablets and smart-phones in bed, catching up on TV or logging onto Facebook or Twitter.  The scary realisation is that lights go out at midnight now compared to 10.30pm ten years ago, research shows.

Maybe a great new year's resolution will be to give ourselves the rest we need and leave the gadgets out of the bedroom.

Designing Your Future

What does your posture say about you?

We all know that bad posture and wrongly positioned equipment leads to all kinds health problems but what are the other implications?

Posture gives off all sorts of messages which you might not even realise.  For instance, being slumped over your desk can make you look tired, bored, disinterested or unapproachable.  These things could make the difference when it comes to a promotion or a salary increase.

Posture also has a direct effect on how you feel.  Successful and happy people demonstrate this by the way they sit, stand and walk, their energy and positivity.

Here at P4 we recognise the importance of posture and it’s effect on you and your success, and it is one of the things which we address on the course.
