Technique Tuesday! Welcome back to school! 🍎
We are officially 2 weeks in to the month of September, and the start of the 2026-2027 school year. Changes in routine can be difficult not just for students, but for parents, teachers, staff, and more.
As we know, hygiene for our bodies is incredibly important - showering/bathing, brushing our teeth, combing our hair, deodorant, clean clothes etc., but, have you heard of sleep hygiene? Silly concept, huh? How do we "clean" our sleep?!
Sleep hygiene isn't exactly "cleaning" our sleep, rather, prioritizing our nighttime, sleep patterns. This means, limiting our blue light exposure (video games, tv, phone) prior to our restful periods, having a nighttime routine that allows our body to prepare for sleep, and utilizing our energy during the day! Check out this great handout sheet from Therapist Aid, for simple tips and tricks to establish a strong sleep hygiene routine, and allow your body to rest each day!
Sleep is important! 💤
