What is the Panda 4-Week Sleep Improvement Challenge?

Here at Panda, helping you sleep better is our key mission. Sleep is such a huge part of our health and well-being, aiding physical and mental health and improving memory, cognitive function, and so much more. Whether you’re a Panda customer or not, we still want to do everything we can to ensure you get a good night’s sleep – say hello to the Panda 4-Week Sleep Improvement Challenge!

What is the 4-Week Sleep Improvement Challenge?

We worked with our partners, The Sleep Charity, to put together a four-week challenge designed to help you build better habits when it comes to bedtime. Habit formation is incredibly important for regulating your circadian rhythm – your 24-hour internal body clock. “Neuroscience reinforces that the brain thrives on consistency,” says Panda sleep expert and consultant counselling psychologist Dr Ritz. “Sticking to a regular bedtime, having a predictable wind-down routine, and reducing blue light exposure before sleep all strengthen the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.”

Our challenge is broken down into four separate weeks, allowing you to start slowly with implementing one new sleep hygiene improvement, followed by a second the week after, and so on across the space of four weeks.

You can track your progress and your overall sleep using the checkboxes – the PDF version is interactive, or you can print your sleep improvement challenge and keep it by your bed if you prefer a physical version. There’s space to make notes, so you can really get to know your sleeping habits and what works for you.

Who are The Sleep Charity?

Our partners at The Sleep Charity do incredible work, campaigning to improve sleep support while raising awareness of the value of a good night’s rest.

From their National Sleep Helpline to e-books, manifestos, podcasts, training courses and so much more, the charity have a wealth of resources available to help people struggling with sleep.
