Recharge and refresh with a great night's sleep

For educators, each day brings a plethora of responsibilities and duties—some are anticipated, while others are not. When we're faced with heavy workloads, expanding resposibilities and the emotional needs of students, we need ways to switch off at the end of the day and engage in external work recovery.

External work recovery is a key way we can keep burnout at bay, and it helps us to go into a new day feeling refreshed without carrying over the past day's stress. One element of external work recovery is getting a good night's sleep.

This meditation gets you breathing deeply and slowly, like rolling waves in the ocean, helping to let your nervous system know it's time to calm down and prepare to sleep.

Try it out tonight and allow the stress of the day fall off you, just in time for a great night's sleep.
