Sass Wellness Challenge Week 3 :: Sleep 7

We all know sleep is important, but let’s be real — when was the last time you actually got a full 7 hours without scrolling through Instagram, answering one more email, or finishing that episode that totally couldn’t wait until tomorrow? Sleep isn’t just a luxury; it’s a non-negotiable for your body, brain and mood — especially for women. Hormones, stress and multitasking can all make getting quality rest feel like a full-time job… except it’s one you can’t just delegate.

Lack of sleep doesn’t just leave you looking like a zombie at brunch. It affects concentration, memory, metabolism and yes, even your emotional thermostat —making everything from Monday meetings to minor life annoyances feel way more dramatic. For women juggling work, family and social lives, sleep is literally the superpower that keeps you sane, energized and functioning at your best.

That’s why our Sass Wellness Challenge Week 3 is all about making sleep a priority. This week’s challenge is simple: aim for at least 7 hours in bed each night. Consider it your nightly reset, and your future self (and future mood swings) will thank you.

Week 3 :: Sleep 7 

In Weeks 1 and 2 of the Sass Wellness Challenge, we focused on relaxation and healthy eating. Now it’s time to hit pause, power down, and give your body the rest it’s been craving. This week’s challenge is simple: aim for at least 7 hours of sleep each night.

How It Works

• Do the 7 hours need to be continuous? Kind of. The goal is to plan for a full night of sleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night (restroom break, anyone?), no worries—just hop back in bed and keep going.

• Do naps count? Nope! While naps can be great for some people, this challenge is all about intentional nighttime rest.

• What if I fall asleep on the couch watching TV? Sorry, that one doesn’t count. Your bed is your sleep headquarters for this challenge.

Joining Late? No Problem

Even if this is your first week, you can jump in now! Start with Week 3 and join the rest of the challenge, or catch up from Week 1—it’s totally up to you.
