Message from CHS Counselors
Massage from CHS Counselors:
Sleep is Important: Dr. Matthew Walker is one of the champions at the forefront of helping people improve their relationship with sleep. He has done countless interviews, has a viral TED talk, and has written numerous books on the importance of sleep and why we must prioritize it. His website, https://www.sleepdiplomat.com/, offers links to these resources and has a weekly newsletter and podcast episodes. Take a look, and rest well!
Early data from our student needs survey indicates that 45% of students who responded struggle with healthy sleep habits. Sleep can play a major role in our health and well-being, including our mental health. Sleepeducation.org is a great resource to find information on healthy sleep habits. Here are some quick tips they recommend for healthy sleep:
Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Get up at the same time every day, even on weekends or during vacations.
Set a bedtime early enough for you to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.
Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy.
If you don’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, leave bed. Do a quiet activity without a lot of light exposure. It is especially important not to get on electronics.
- Establish a relaxing bedtime routine.
- Use your bed only for sleep.
- Make your bedroom quiet and relaxing. Keep the room at a comfortable, cool temperature.
- Limit exposure to bright light in the evenings.
- Turn off electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
- Don’t eat a large meal before bedtime. If you are hungry at night, eat a light, healthy snack.
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet.
- Avoid consuming caffeine in the afternoon or evening.
- Avoid consuming alcohol before bedtime.
- Reduce your fluid intake before bedtime.
