Six weekend health mistakes

Sleeping in too late
Staying up until late at night and then sleeping in the next day could leave you feeling more tired and make it harder to get back onto a normal sleep schedule for the entire week. It's called 'social jet lag'. Get more out of your weekend days and avoid sleeping troubles on Sunday night. Organise your schedule so you wake up within an hour of the time you would during the week.

Overeating
Don't overdo it when you eat out, enjoy a few drinks or indulge in dessert on the weekend. Your diet will suffer as a result. It's best to try and maintain a balance not going too far away from your your weekday eating habits.

Staying Plugged In
Take the time to unplug and recharge to help keep stress levels in check and maximise your weekend relaxation. Go tech-free for one day, afternoon, or even just an hour on the weekend while enjoying an outdoor activity or time with loved ones.

Catching Up On Work
Stay away from work on the weekend unless there is a crisis situation. Prioritising time to for two days relax can actually make you more productive during the week.

Running Errands & Doing Chores
Don't power through your to-do list on Saturday and Sunday. Try spending 30 minutes each evening doing laundry, grocery shopping or cleaning during the week. This will free up your weekend for more enjoyable, calming activities.

Stressing On Sunday
Don't waste Sunday anticipating the stresses of the coming week. When you start feeling the Sunday blues coming on, get active and spend time with people you love.
