More About Sleep
Clinical social workers Kristina and Heather revisit this topic of sleep with a strategy-filled and insightful conversation about why consistent sleep schedules are key for both kids and adults. They break down exactly how much sleep each age group needs—from the newborns who need 14-17 hours to the preschoolers getting 10-13 hours—and how natural light plays a big role in helping us all get the rest we need. Get ready for some practical (and easy!) tips on creating the perfect sleep environment, from cool, dark rooms to the magic of weighted blankets. Kristina and Heather also chat about how sticking to a bedtime routine can boost brain development and overall well-being, plus they share some super calming techniques like square breathing and bilateral tapping to help kids (and adults!) relax and sleep better. If you're looking for fun ways to improve sleep hygiene and make bedtime a breeze, this episode is for you!
