ZZZs
ZZZs
The SkyCity business operates twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week. As a result, many members of the
SkyCity team do shift work.
If you find yourself struggling with the lack of ZZZs, try to take
a proactive approach to your changing sleep patterns. You
will feel better if you eat well, exercise (if possible), and
optimise your sleep by keeping your bedroom cool and dark.
Minimise interruptions by turning your phone off and
managing family and social pressures.
If you are looking for support, contact the Connect team by
email: connect@skycity.co.nz.
