Healthy sleep habits (or lack of!)
Totally normal. Don’t worry too much during holiday times, but when routine is required, it might be best to get some things sorted. We recommend:
Wellbeing
1. Tech boundaries
Agreeing on a time when tech comes out of the bedroom (model good tech practices as a general rule).
2. Actual books
Ensuring there are actual books to read in bed, rather than a device. Add in a bedside lamp, to make it cosy.
3. Grab a book
Find some books that talk through some of this stuff.
We love anything by Kaz Cooke, but a quick google search brings up really cool options. If the book also includes some information about sex in it (and not just heterosexual), just leave it with them saying you bought it for them to look at the ‘sleep stuff’. They’ll read it. Or parts of it!
4. Praise
Praise them when they make efforts to sleep well and look after themselves.
5. Check in
Check-in regularly to see how things are going - there might be other stuff keeping them awake. Having trouble sleeping is quite normal when we're stressed.
