Sleep Matters at Prep

Qualified therapist and author Navit Schechter, founder of Conscious and Calm, joined our pupils and their families for a series of talks on achieving a peaceful night’s sleep.

Navit advocates that preparing for a good night’s sleep at any age is one of the most powerful ways to take care of our emotional health and well-being. After a good night’s sleep, we can think more clearly, feel calmer and are more able to cope with the stresses of life.

The afternoon was put on following a pupil survey that showed that getting a good night’s sleep was a worry for many of our pupils. Navit explained to our pupils and later to parents and carers in a special after school session, the importance of structure and routine around bedtimes. She talked about common triggers to upsetting sleep and shared practical and simple ways to ensure we can approach bedtime with a calmness and a lack of worry or unwanted stimulation.

We would like to thank Navit for taking the time to come in to deliver these useful sessions.
