There are six basic tools of Stress Regulation. SLEEP, NUTRITION, EXERCISE, SOCIAL SUPPORT, FUN (Finding your smile). These tools can be taught to any age group and are designed as ordinary physiological brain-body response to life. You may notice that we use the words brain and body together as brain-body. They are not separate and work together as a team.
Today we are specifically discussing about Sleep.
*Sleep is critical for our health.*
Getting enough sleep helps protect your health and quality of life. Sleep effects how we feel when we are awake.
Many people think that sleep is a waste of time not realizing that it is sleep/rest that allows us to successfully function in our activities. During sleep, the brain-body works to help us feel well during the day.
Research studies show that sleep impacts learning. Whether you are in school or learning new information for your job, sleep enhances your learning ability and problem-solving skills. If you do not get enough sleep, you might have problems making decisions and solving problems.
Not getting enough sleep can affect the way that we interact with other people and our ability to successfully get along with them.
Children and teenagers who don’t get enough sleep may have problems at school and with getting along with others. When we sleep our brain-body is working to help us prepare for the next day.
Ask yourself the question, “How many hours do I sleep a night?” Studies show that the human body needs 7-8 hours a night on average to stay healthy.
If you are not sleeping, it is important to learn what is keeping you awake and simple interventions that may help.
