Healthy Sleep Practices theme (Sleeping well)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In our co-production workshops with young people for the ‘Healthy Sleep Practices’ theme, we discussed the ‘sleep steps<\/strong>‘ that we can take during the day to get a good sleep at night, and how we can have a better sleep-wake cycle<\/strong>. Young people advised us on the best ways to engage children in the ‘sleep steps’ and in thinking about the importance of sleep for our wellbeing. Two tools stood out as the best and most engaging ways: A graphic comic<\/strong> and a professional<\/strong> pop song<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The Science behind the Sleep Steps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Getting a good night’s sleep is important for our physical and mental health and can have a significant impact on our mood. Sleep for children and teens is particularly vital for growth and development. We can leverage (use) environmental cues, or signals to our body, such as sunlight, indoor lights, darkness, body temperature, exercise, and timing caffeine and food intake, which are grounded in our physiology, to improve our sleep.<\/p>\n

For example, a great deal of research evidence supports that daylight viewing soon after waking up is the most potent stimulus for wakefulness, and has a powerful and positive impact on our ability to fall asleep that night and to stay asleep.<\/p>\n
