Good morning,
Following on from last week’s sleep advice this week we will look at how to support a good routine. To do this it is worth having a look at what our evening routines look like. We have two routines, one on school days and the other on non-school days.
Questions to ask yourself for school day routines are:
What will I do after school?
What will I do after dinner?
When will my wind down hour start?
What will I do in my wind down hour?
When will I go to my bed and sleep?
What will I do if I wake up during the night?
Similar questions to ask yourself for non-school day routines are:
What will I do during the day and in the early evening?
What will I do after dinner?
When will my wind down hour start?
What will I do in my wind down hour?
When will I go to my bed and sleep?
What will I do if I wake up during the night?
These are some of the questions that will help us to look closely at what our routines look like and what is helping or stopping us from sleeping. You could keep a little diary to help you determine what you do and then have a look at the link below which supports a good evening routine.

We will continue to provide Sleep support tomorrow and the main focus will be sleep behaviours.
Have a lovely day everyone.

James is asking what age group this is for? Can you adjust it to an 8.30pm bedtime for him please, 9.30pm for the weekends 🤣😁🤣
Thanks for the updates, they are helpful reminders 😊
