I just read Matthew Walker's book "Why We Sleep" and it was informational, interesting, and terrifying. I have been trying to implement things to improve sleep, thanks to the book.
I am appreciating the well written, succinct summaries of these issues. It is sometimes nice to get an easily digestible overview, instead of having to read lengthy books or studies.
Yeah, it was a game changer for me and the many children I work with. Thanks for the feedback, the more, the better, as I'm just starting out. I am trying to give some useful and simple advice for parents, teachers etc. as I think there is a lot of nonsense out there at the minute in schools.
Absolutely! Quality sleep is so critical, especially for children—no arguments there. The benefits are real, from brain development to mood and memory. But let’s be honest: if naps were cardio, I’d be an Olympian by now! Teaching kids the importance of sleep (minus the blue light) could be one of the best gifts we give them. If they learn early, maybe they’ll embrace the “installing updates” nap strategy we adults depend on so much.
I struggled with sleep for years, and since it is (mostly) sorted, it's been a game changer. It's important to know the difference between quality and quantity of sleep, which isn't well understood. I've had multiple students who presented with ADHD characteristics who just weren't sleeping. One had to share a room with 3 brothers!
