Stratford's Wellbeing Theme: Own It! >> Sleep

Why sleep matters:
Sleep isn’t just for rest—it’s how your brain and body reset. Teenagers who don’t get enough sleep often feel moody, lose focus, and find it harder to handle stress. Good sleep helps you think clearly, stay calm, and have energy for sports, friends, and school.

Tips to own it:

• Try to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep each night.
• Stick to a bedtime routine - your body loves routine.
• Keep screens out of your bed space - scrolling before sleep keeps your brain awake.
• Make your room a chill zone: dark, quiet, and comfy.
• If your mind races at night, write thoughts down or listen to calm music.
