WORKSHEET - Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire

-Establish a regular, relaxing routine to unwind at night, just before bedtime. This will help signal to your body that it is time to sleep. 

- Avoid all products containing caffeine (including soda, chocolate, etc.) after about 4:00 p.m. - avoid smoking (including smokeless tobacco) since, in addition to other bad health effects, nicotine is a stimulating drug.

- Avoid alcohol/drugs.

- Stay away from stimulating activities in the late evening such as heavy studying, computer games, and violent or frightening television shows, videos, social media drama or trolling.

- Promote a calm atmosphere surrounding bedtime.

- Do not fall asleep while watching television or videos.

- Establish a regular exercise routine and healthy diet.

- Avoid late afternoon and evening bright light, and open blinds first thing in the morning.

- You can go to bed later on weekends, but make sure you wake up within two hours of your usual weekday wake time. If allowed to “sleep-in” on the weekends, your body clock will be disrupted, and you will have a very hard time waking up on Monday morning. It is important to establish and maintain a consistent sleep-wake schedule.

- NO PHONES IN THE BEDROOM WHEN SLEEPING!! Leave it in the kitchen or other area far away from you.

PART TWO - EAT WELL

WHAT DO YOU EAT?? 

What does the perfectly healthy day of food look like? 

•   How have you learned about what healthy food is?
•   How do you know what food is tasty?
•   What is different about food now than, say, forty years (or more) ago?
