Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!
Everyone needs it; let’s learn to do it well!
By your school Counsellor, Ms. Brennan, RCC, CCC.
Sleep. Everyone is so different and there are so many experts out there advising us on optimal ways to sleep. Do you sleep well? What time do you go to bed? Do you eat before bedtime? Play on your screens before bedtime? Why do people need to set seven alarms when they know they will snooze them all....? How can I make the best of the time I have to sleep, so my body can rest and be ready for a new day? What effect does sleep have on the body? How does it help our brain, or hurt it when we don’t get enough..? Can sleep affect my memory? My mood? My learning? What do I do if I can’t fall asleep or stay asleep?!
Let’s look at some basics, some science and some suggestions that may help us get a better sleep. And let’s ALSO look at what you can do if you have not had a good nights sleep...
