One in seven Americans doesn’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of consecutive sleep each night. Sleep isn't just rest — it's a vital part of recovery. It helps improve memory, reduces anxiety, supports heart health and boosts the immune system.

For Emory community members looking to improve their well-being, the annual Snooze Soundly Challenge is an opportunity to start, kicking off on Friday, Aug. 1, and running through Sunday, Aug. 31.  The challenge is open to all benefits-eligible employees, as well as spouses on an Emory medical plan.

The month-long challenge focuses on building healthy sleep habits one small change at a time. Whether it’s creating a consistent bedtime routine, powering down devices before bed or carving out time to relax during the day, this challenge will help participants reclaim restful sleep.


What’s in it for eligible participants?

Participating in the Snooze Soundly Challenge through Healthy Emory Connect gives community members the opportunity to build better sleep habits that reduce stress and improve energy, focus and mood. Participants will also learn about the connection between sleep, weight, heart health and immunity.

Complete these five campaign activities by Aug. 31 to earn a $100 medical plan incentive or reward:
