You’ve probably heard that activity is pretty good for your health. But when should you be active if you’re trying to shift your clock earlier or later? Arcashift’s Activity Chart has got you covered.
By now, we know you’re familiar with circadian rhythms, which are those natural 24-hour cycles that regulate your body functions (including things like sleep, hunger, and energy levels). By aligning your activity with these rhythms, you can boost your sleep quality and overall health in a big way.
But how do you align your rhythms with your goals if your shifts constantly throw you off track? That’s where the Activity Chart comes in. Using advanced algorithms trained on real shift worker data, Arcashift’s Activity Chart recommends target time and step goal ranges that are tuned to your body’s unique internal clock. This means you’ll achieve your circadian goals—and feel better— faster
The recommendations on the Activity Chart include; Rest, Chill, and Active.
“Rest” recommendations help remind you to take it easy and focus on sleep. These are the times we want you to find a peaceful environment and slide into that deep, sound slumber. Turn out those lights, put on some comfy jammies, and let your body focus on rejuvenating, repairing, and preparing you for the day ahead.
Next up: “Chill” recommendations. Think of these as times when you might not want or be able to fall asleep, but it’s still helpful to your circadian goals to keep it calm. At these times, you’ll want to put your feet up, dim the overhead lights, and get out your Kindle.
Last but not least, we’ve got the “Active” recommendations. Just like it sounds, this is the time period when Arcashift recommends that you move your body and get light and activity as much as possible. And, hey! We even throw in a step target goal to give you that extra oomph to get those legs moving!
With the Activity Chart in Arcashift, you’ll get the guidance you need to steer your clock where you want it. Try it free today!
