Sleep Resolution

Year after year, we make resolutions that so often amount to doing things for others. We vow to start working harder or longer hours, or do things that will impress or prove our worth to our peers, like losing weight, or earning more money. But this year, after nearly two years that have been hard on us all, we’re doing things differently. Welcome to the resolution revolution, in which we’re all pledging to be kinder to ourselves by prioritizing rest.

Together with our partners at Lull, we’re asking you to try something new this year: Make a New Year’s resolution that’s gentle on yourself. Whether you resolve to practice better sleep hygiene, meditate more often, ditch the late night for early mornings motto, or make time for journaling, tell us what promises you plan on making (and keeping!) to yourself to help your mind or your body relaxed and happy. No more pressure to achieve goals that feel so unattainable we drop them halfway through January - instead, let’s start 2022 relaxed and refreshed, together.

Judges

Amanda Liu is the social media buyer here at Lull who manages the paid media campaigns on social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest). Amanda values the importance of getting great quality sleep and loves to spread the word about how convenient and comfortable upgrading to Lull is! When Amanda's not judging Vocal challenges, you can find her buying too many indoor plants or at the beach watching the sunset.

Sydney Wilhelm is Lull's marketing coordinator and has been training with Amanda to start taking on media buyer responsibilities in early 2022. Sydney loves walking and tries to stay active in her free time but loves to spend all day in bed whenever she has the chance. She is extremely grateful that she has a job that she genuinely enjoys and works at a company that shares the same core values as her.
