It's the FINAL Week of the Drift Off Challenge!

Log Your Sleep TODAY!

Exercise reaps many benefits for our joints, the functioning of our hearts, and can help to improve our sleep. The final technique of the Drift Off Challenge encourages you to get moving and see just how much better you will sleep!

In the 2013 Sleep in America Poll, researchers surveyed adults between 23 and 60 years old. Results revealed that 76-83% of respondents who regularly engage in light, moderate, or vigorous exercise reported very good or fairly good sleep quality. This percentage dropped to 56% for respondents who do not regularly exercise (Pacheco & Singh, 2022).
