A job doesn’t just need to be a way to finance the things that make you happy, but it can also be a rewarding and fulfilling way to spend most of your day. If you need help figuring out a path that interests you, try these assessments that will give you a little more insight into what you’re looking for.

| | Wellness: Limit screen time before bed
| |
| Building healthy sleep habits is crucial for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Blue light emitted from your digital device screens has been shown to lower melatonin levels, which prevents your mind and body from relaxing enough to sleep. Easy access to your phone or tablet may also tempt you to reach for it throughout the night to respond to social interactions like texts, calls or messages, which in many cases can add stress and, in every case, interrupt your sleep.
Instead of being glued to your devices, try to limit screen time one hour before bed and leave your phone or tablet in a different room while you sleep. For more tips on how to maintain healthy sleep habits, check out sleep tips from UW Integrative Health.
