Have you wondered why anyone would be concerned about getting healthy sleep while teaching online?

The main idea behind online education is that it can be done anytime, anywhere. With no boundaries, this type of work can easily take additional time and energy.

For example, instead of working with a group of students all at once, teachers often write comments and feedback each individual student. This might happen more than one way, every week. 

At first, this work might be surprising to anyone new to online teaching.

After getting used to the idea of regularly reaching each student, balancing one’s time and energy becomes important in order to continue teaching well and to maintain work-life balance.

And, healthy sleep while teaching online is a critical part of the balance.
