🌙 Sleep Awareness Week (March 9-15)🌙
With Daylight Savings Time just beginning, many of us are feeling the effects of losing an hour of sleep. This shift can disrupt our routines, making it harder to fall asleep and stay rested. As mental health therapists, we know how crucial sleep is for emotional well-being—lack of rest can increase stress, anxiety, and mood instability, while quality sleep supports focus, emotional balance, and mental resilience.
Here are a few therapist-approved tips to adjust and improve your sleep:
🛏️ Stick to a consistent sleep schedule—even with the time change
📵 Limit screen time before bed to reduce blue light exposure
☕ Avoid caffeine late in the day to prevent restlessness
🧘 Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation
Prioritizing sleep isn’t just about rest—it’s about resilience. 💤
