The Performance Room - in light of my expertise in managing sleep and downtime practices, The Performance Room asked me to offer insights into being ready for some ‘energy challenges’ in the workplace. In the articles I tackle the energy sapping demands of ‘pregnancy’ and ‘academic study’ whilst also delivering for your employer. Be it full or part time responsibilities in the workplace, both scenarios offer challenges to your ability to perform optimally at work and I offer some practical solutions to help guide you through the fog. https://www.theperformanceroom.co.uk/blog/ready-forpregnancy-workplace/
