Goodnight WordPress - WordCamp Ann Arbor 2019

Working when we should be sleeping isn’t a badge of honor. It’s keeping us from being at our healthiest and most productive. In this session, you’ll learn methods to cultivate deep, restful sleep.

We spend a third of our lives sleeping. Until a deadline looms. Working when we should be sleeping isn’t a badge of honor. It’s keeping us from being at our healthiest and most productive. In this session, you’ll learn methods to cultivate deep, restful sleep. You’ll also learn how to discover your “chronotype” beyond just night owls and early birds, and how to change your daily routines to get back into sync with your natural rhythm.

As someone who has faced a sleep disorder my entire life, I’ll share how working with WordPress helped me escape the corporate 9-5 and work around my ideal sleep schedule.
