Sleep Well Challenge: Wellness Incentive Program (25 wellness incentive program points)

Monday, April 23, 2018

12:00 AM-12:00 AM

Sleep Your Way to Better Health

Did you know that sufficient sleep is just as important to your health and well-being as healthy eating and exercise? As you sleep, your body restores itself for the next day through tissue, cell and muscle repair, recharging your brain, and releasing important hormones. Additionally, the quantity and quality of sleep is helpful for your physical, mental and emotional health.

For the next four weeks, our “Sleep Well Challenge” will encourage you to sleep for the recommended 7-9 hours per night. Naps don’t count towards your sleep in this challenge. We’re looking for 7-9 consecutive hours of rest!

Register Today and Start in May

Registration for the Sleep Well Challenge opens April 23 via the Wellness Incentive Program portal. To register, log in at healthadvocate.com/drexel. Click on “Sleep Well” from your “To Do” list, then click “Join.”

Your next step is to log your daily sleep hours and minutes once the challenge is underway. Log your daily sleep by adding your hours/minutes directly through the Sleep Well Challenge page, or through your Sleep Tracker on the Health Trackers section of your portal. Be sure to click “Save All” after entering in your time.

The challenge begins May 7 and will run through June 3. If you forget to register, you have until May 14 to join this challenge. You can then back date your hours of sleep starting with May 7.

You must log your minutes and hours of daily sleep every single week for the duration of the challenge in order to earn 25 wellness incentive points for completing the challenge.

Who Is Eligible for This Opportunity?

The Wellness Incentive Program, and the Sleep Well Challenge, are available to all full-time and part-time benefit-eligible faculty and professional staff. Along with having access to this program, employees enrolled in a Drexel medical plan, or full-time employees who participate in the opt-out waiver, will be eligible to earn up to 400 points (a $400 premium credit) by completing wellness activities between January 1-November 30, 2018.

Visit the HR website for a complete list of wellness activities for which you can earn points.

Don’t Forget to Complete Your 2018 Personal Health Profile

Please note that you must complete your 2018 Personal Health Profile (PHP) in order to receive credits in your paycheck. You will not earn any medical premium credits until the month after you complete your PHP, which is a required step in our program. Knowing your numbers helps you understand your health risks. For those who participated last year, the Wellness Incentive Program allows you to compare your 2017 PHP data to your 2018 PHP data, providing an easy snapshot of your overall health.
