Sleep and Student Mental Health during the COVID-19 pandemic
My colleagues and I were motivated to put together a simple poster to share some tried and tested strategies for protecting sleep during stress at this exceptional time.
In the midst of a major battle, it’s hard to think of sleep as a priority, but it is true! Tired soldiers make mistakes. Tired doctors, nurses and healthcare workers don’t function optimally and get sick.
For students to whom we have a pastoral role, we hope the tips will help them think of sleep and give themselves permission to rest properly and stay healthy.
