Ways to care for your mental health

Healthy Sleep

Rest is brain fuel.

What this means

Sleep helps your brain store learning and steady your mood. A calm routine tells your body it is safe to rest.

Signs to notice

  • • Falling asleep late
  • • Waking up tired
  • • Screens right before bed

Healthy coping ideas

  • • Same bedtime each night
  • • Screens off 30 minutes early
  • • Dim lights and stretch

Journal prompts

“What time do you want to be asleep tonight?”

“What is one thing that keeps you up?”

“What calm activity could replace screens?”

“How do you feel on days you sleep well?”

“Do you need rest, movement, food, water, support, or quiet time?”

  1. Pick 3 calm steps
  2. Do them in order tonight
