Why sleep is so important.

We always talk about sleep being important for your mental and physical wellbeing, but truly it is. If you didn’t eat for a week, then your body would suffer. If you don't get enough sleep your brain suffers too.

 

Getting enough sleep can help you to:

  • Recharge
  • Process information
  • Allow your body to rest and repair
  • Feel happier
  • Think more clearly
  • Concentrate better
  • Provide you with the energy to complete tasks, and
  • Make you more alert

Ways to help getting to sleep:

  • Put your devices to bed at least 30 minutes before you go
  • Make sure you get some exercise during the day
  • Start and stick to a regular routine for bedtime and waking up
  • Practice quiet and soothing activities before bed
  • Avoid napping
  • Create the perfect sleeping environment
  • Stay away from dietary stimulants like sugar, coffee, coke, tea a few hours before you need to go to sleep

Find out more informationabout why you need great sleep.

Kids Helpline  also offer lots of resources, as well as ways to get in touch with an expert.
