Quality sleep isn't always easy to achieve. Poor sleep habits, whether caused by stress or a busy schedule, can exacerbate any anxiousness you're already feeling and throw you into a damaging cycle of poor sleep. So, how can you break this cycle and get the restful sleep you need? Understanding what good sleep hygiene means so that you can establish an evening routine is essential for a successful slumber. How Sleep Affects Your Health Poor sleep is linked to a range of health problems, including an increased risk of weight gain or blood sugar imbalance, according to MedlinePlus. It can also poorly affect your mood. Adequate sleep helps boost your immunity, helps you focus and retain more information, and contributes to healthy growth and development in children. But how much sleep is enough? Experts recommend that the average adult gets between seven to nine hours, teens nine to ten hours, and younger kids need ten or more hours of sleep per day. Establish an Evening Routine for Quality Sleep Maybe you had a bedtime routine when you were a kid or you have one set up for your own kids. Truth is, you're never too old to establish a bedtime or evening routine. It's one of the best ways to promote sleep hygiene and to be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. First, choose a bedtime you can stick to every day (or at least most days) of the week. Aim to set a bedtime of 10pm or ideally earlier. From there, plan your night to make sure you're in bed and ready to fall asleep at that time. For the best results, start your evening routine in the afternoon. Below is a sample schedule if you're aiming to get to bed by 10pm. Afternoon (Around 1pm) Avoid caffeine later in the day, especially if you find you are sensitive to stimulants or have trouble sleeping. If you need to rest, take a nap before 3pm. Napping later in the day can interfere with your ability to sleep at night. 2 to 3 Hours Before Bed While there are always exceptions, after dinner, try not to eat again. Skipping snacking as well as avoiding eating too late can help promote more restful sleep. Your body will always prioritize energy for digestion, so allowing time before bed for your meal to digest means your body can focus its energy on cell repair and rejuvenation as you sleep. Also, limit or avoid alcohol consumption. Although you may think it helps you fall asleep, alcohol prevents your body from achieving the restorative sleep it needs, Cleveland Clinic reports. 1 Hour Before Bed Turn off all electronics. You've probably heard by now that blue light from tablets, computers, phones and TV can keep you up at night. Blue light seems to suppress melatonin more than other wavelengths of light and can throw off your circadian rhythm, finds Harvard Medical School. 30 Minutes Before Bed Find ways to relax and release the tension from the day that you enjoy. This could include meditation, light stretching, reading a book, listening to music or taking a bath. Bedtime Turn off the lights. Your body increases the production of melatonin as it starts to get darker, this is the hormone which helps you to sleep. Turn off any artificial lights in your room and close the curtains or blinds to block any other outside lighting. It's also easier to sleep if your room is cool, so turn on a fan or turn down the heat. Then it's time to climb in bed and get cozy. Using bed linen from natural material helps your body to breathe, whereas synthetic materials can make you hot which can wake you up and interrupt your sleep. Still Having Trouble? Choose a week when you have fewer activities or events that could interfere with your ability to stick to a routine. Then, try implementing your evening routine. It may be an adjustment, and you may have trouble falling asleep at first. If you continue to struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep there are supplements may help calm your mind and ease you into sleep. Using a supplement at bedtime can support the routine established and promote sleep hygiene going forward. Adequate, restful sleep is vital to your overall health and well being. Consider your evening routine another important method of self-care.

Teaching students the difference between good choices and poor choices is crucial, especially at a young age. Making sure that students can make good decisions for themselves helps in countless ways as they grow older. I like to use a variety of tools to get the ideas across for my little guys. I especially enjoy this activity with second and third grade students. At this age, they really like to cut, glue and complete hands on activities. It’s a bit harder to keep their attention when we are just talking, they need something highly interactive. I like to use these two activities to keep the conversation flowing, the lessons learning and the good choices coming. I usually complete these over the course of two separate sessions. Activity #1: Good Choice Puzzles Students cut apart the good choice or poor choice puzzle pieces. They separate the pieces based on if they think the situation is a good choice or if they think it is a poor choice and place the puzzle pieces in the appropriate spots. They glue the pieces in place and can then step back and admire their completed worksheet. Activity #2: Good Choice vs. Poor Choice Cut & Glues Much like the puzzle activity, students start by cutting apart their pieces. They then pick up each piece one by one and decide if that situation would be classified as a good choice or a poor choice. Once they make their choice, they glue the piece in place until all 20 situations as snug in their proper spots. After completing these two activities, students are sure to have a clearer understanding of the difference between a good choice and a poor choice.

There are six levels of validation in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which promote an environment where people feel accepted and understood. As much as possible, we should use the highest level of validation in any given situation. The first level is about showing interest and being present while the sixth level is radical genuineness. The DBT 6 Levels Of Validation worksheet asks clients to engage in reflection and describe a scenario where validation would be helpful. For each level of validation, they can brainstorm ways to show support to a friend or loved one going through a difficult experience. Kids and teens answering the worksheet can practice articulating their responses, which helps them develop their communication skills and have healthier relationships. Feel free to pair this worksheet with our DBT 6 Levels of Validation handout which serves as a practical resource on the topic. *This item is an instant digital download.
