4 Wing Celebrates International Women’s Day CPL MICHAEL JUAREZ On March 8th, 2021 the Defence Women’s Advisory Organization of 4 Wing Cold Lake hosted a virtual event celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD). CAF members of all ranks, along with their family, joined the event to celebrate and acknowledge the impressive accomplishments of women around the world. International Women’s Day not only highlights women’s achievements but also brings awareness to the ongoing issues and challenges women face in their ongoing fight for equity and equality. Hosted by Corporal Emily Reiman and Nikita Proulx, the event featured three Honorary Colonels from the CAF who shared personal experiences and wisdom with attendees: Honorary Colonel Darlene Gates, 4 Wing, Honorary Colonel J’lyn Nye, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, and Honorary Colonel Kristin Long, Canadian Forces School of Survival and Aeromedical Training. This year’s IWD theme was “Choose to Challenge.” This theme encourages people to challenge themselves and others to call out gender bias and inequality, seek out and celebrate women’s achievements, and create a more inclusive community for all. This powerful message was echoed by all three Honorary Colonels as they spoke about their lived experiences. As the Honorary Colonels shared their leadership experience within their

Honorary Colonel Long expressed that “a leader will always be part of the team and should not be seen as a single unit.” On the topic of teamwork, Honorary Colonel Gates advised aspiring female leaders to look to their peers for inspiration; “they will be there to help motivate you to push through the self-doubt…” Following up, Honorary Colonel Nye quite simply put it to “find individuals who are on your level!” An important message, but one

This endeavour is a partnered initiative from the PSP Health Promotion Department, PSP Fitness and Sports Department, and the 4 Wing Military Family Resource Centre.

Regular sleep for a healthy future: World Sleep Day 2021 LISA FISHER, HEALTH PROMOTION SPECIALIST Who doesn’t love sleep? On 19 March 2021, the Health Promotion Team at 4 Wing will celebrate the 14th annual World Sleep Day, a global call to action about the importance of healthy sleep. World Sleep Day was created and is hosted by the World Sleep Society. This year’s theme is “Regular Sleep, Healthy Future” which focuses on sleep as an important health pillar; one that is often put on the back burner. Good sleep is essential to good health. But what does “good sleep” even mean? First, we need to talk about quantity. The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and National Sleep Foundation recommend that adults aged 18-64 sleep 7-9 hours per night. Individuals should feel rested and alert the following day. We also want continuous sleep, meaning that our sleep shouldn’t experience gross fragmentation (i.e. frequent awakenings). And lastly, we want sleep that is deep enough that it is restorative. Sleep is now a dedicated Performance (P4) Behaviour in BALANCE, the new CAF Physical Performance. Along with physical activity, nutrition and injury prevention, it was found that sleep is integral to military personnel achieving optimal physical performance and being operationally sound and ready. We know that a portion of Canadians are not sleeping well. Data from the
Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) found that 1 in 4 adults aged 18-34 and 1 in 4 adults aged 35-64 are not getting enough sleep. Furthermore, 1 in 2 adults have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep. Research with military personnel have found them to overestimate their own proficiency with insufficient sleep; essentially, they think they function fine when sleeping less than the recommended 7-9 hours. Unfortunately, research has also shown a decrease in military performance when personnel are sleep deprived, including increased risk of committing errors of causing accidents, impaired reasoning skills, impaired short-term memory, and weakened physical performance. A variety of factors can come into play when we look at why people do not sleep enough or sleep well. These factors can include sleep hygiene, physical and/or psychological conditions, sleep disorders, and family dynamics. Stress is also a common factor in poor sleep quality, with 36.3% of adults who get insufficient sleep reporting chronic stress. So far, this article may sound gloomy. The good news is, you can work toward getting better sleep by practicing good sleep hygiene and speaking to your healthcare provider if you suspect that there may an underlying issue such as a sleep disorder or physical/psychological condition. Here are some sleep hygiene tips: • Create a comfortable sleeping
environment that is cool, dark and noise-free. • Avoid alcohol and stimulants (e.g. nicotine, caffeine) in the evening hours before bed. • Exercise regularly, keeping more strenuous workouts to daytime hours. • Maintain a regular bedtime/ waketime schedule (+/- 30 minutes). • Practice stress management techniques. For more sleep hygiene tips and tricks, contact the Health Promotion Department at 4WGHealthPromotion@ forces.gc.ca. We would be happy to provide a Sleep Briefing to your Unit or provide resources to individuals. Make sure to join us on social media (4 Wing Connection on Facebook and @4winghealthpromotion on Instagram) on 19 March for our World Sleep Day activities including Trivia Stories, our Better Sleep for Better Health live virtual webinar, and the launch of our BALANCE Library: Sleep and You Series!

When you’ve blown it
N
obody’s perfect. It’s true. Nobody. We play that card, use that phrase defensively when we make mistakes, from huge ones to small ones. It neatly shifts blame and hopefully gets whoever we have hurt or offended off our backs. Mistakes and their fallout do not always neatly resolve when we want them to. Depending on the significance of the injury, the importance of the person injured to us, the singular or chronic nature of the mistake, the amount of public awareness of our failure, things can linger in our minds or the minds of others. And that sucks. What to do when the problem is between you and someone else is something others have talked about in this space before – the importance of forgiveness is universal, regardless of your religious or spiritual or interpersonal framework. But what do you do when you’ve done that, and the fact that you have blown it is still lingering, still hanging around in your mind, attacking your confidence, your state of mind, your view of yourself? First, forgive yourself. Sometimes this is the hardest thing. Others may forgive you, you may forgive others, but most often we are our own worst critic. Silence the inner voice of condemnation by forgiving yourself. Grant yourself peace on this issue. Agree within yourself you will not let those emotions arise again, that you can find love and compassion inside you for even such a one as you. When you look at yourself, you don’t see the covered up front that you present to the world. You see all your own warts and wrinkles, your patterns, and all the stuff that you hide from others. It is easy to be angry at that, or depressed, or upset.
Padre Oliver Edwards
CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
Forgiveness washes that away. Second, stop beating yourself up. You don’t have the right to sit in judgment on yourself. You are not objective, and you have no idea exactly what would be fair to take blame for. As much as you know more than anyone else just how much you have failed, what you consider failure may not be so in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the grand scheme of things, in the eyes of the divine. Third make a plan for next time. Be proactive. Whatever it was you might blame for what went wrong, make a plan for when that becomes a factor again. I find certain things my kids do tend to make me go from 0 to 100 in frustration, and I can snap at them, react poorly and regret it. When I can identify those triggers and prepare for what to do when they happen, I am ahead
of the game and can do better. Most mistakes we make come from regularly occurring triggers. So prepare. Fourth, move on. You are not your mistakes. You are not your omissions. As much as some might want to define you this way, you are more. Labelling, pidgeonholing, putting yourself in a box, all these things limit you. The human spirit was never intended to be so limited as to be defined by clean labels and types. Don’t fall into that trap. Move on and accept you are more than just the things you’ve done wrong. Grow from that place, and you will not only carry less weight intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, but you will grow healthier. oliver.edwards@forces.gc.ca
