Overview
- New Betterfly Health Survey data highlight widespread poor rest among Mexican employees, with specialists pointing to unclear rules, excessive workloads and after‑hours messaging as key drivers.
- Mexico’s NOM‑35 standard on workplace psychosocial risk is described as often implemented superficially, with experts calling for real schedule management, reasonable workloads and modeled boundaries from leaders.
- A BMJ Journals review pooling 25 randomized trials with more than 2,000 participants found resistance training produced the largest gains in sleep quantity and quality, outperforming aerobic or mixed programs on PSQI scores.
- Clinicians emphasize routines that reduce nighttime cortisol—such as a predictable wind‑down, a warm shower, quiet reading and brief gratitude writing—to ease the transition into deeper sleep.
- Specialists caution against defaulting to medication, advising pharmacotherapy only after environmental and behavioral strategies fail, while challenging common beliefs that perpetuate insomnia.
