No surprise, lots of working moms work whenever and from wherever they can, including their beds. If you must burn the midnight oil among your blankets and bolsters, here’s how to do it without hurting your health—or your relationship—according to Paula Davis-Laack, a stress and resiliency expert in Milwaukee.
Set boudoir boundaries. Late-night convos with close colleagues from bed shouldn’t replace pillow talk with your domestic partner. So limit working from your love nest to a few times a week, or only when under a tight deadline. Save the other nights for, ahem, other things. Sit up. Trading in your desk for a fluffy pillow sounds comfortable, but working from bed can actually lead to bad posture and a stiff neck and back. Prevent slouching with posture-friendly props like your headboard and firm pillows to keep your laptop at desk height and your wrists at a good angle. Set a reminder to get up and move around or do a light stretch, like a yoga pose. Shut it down before shut-eye. Finish night work at least 30 minutes before snooze time so your mind can de-stress. And move devices where you can’t see or hear them, since the distracting pings, dings and lights from computers and smartphones can decrease levels of sleep-inducing melatonin. Hint: Let a real alarm clock wake you, and say goodnight to your phone until morning.
