Reminder; tomorrow freshman and JV will have the day off and should do the ACTIVE RECOVERY workout linked here; varsity and athletes spoken to at practice should report to woodman after school. Everyone will meet for practice on Thursday beginning at 2:30pm and we will go over items pertaining to the meet and the weeks ahead. As discussed in practice we will be given at health advice starting with our first post below.
Sleep Hygiene: A consistent bedtime routine can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall recovery. Here's a simple routine to consider:
1 Hour Before Bed:
- Turn Off Screens: Reduce blue light exposure by turning off electronics or wearing blue-light-blocking glasses.
- Dim the Lights: Create a calming atmosphere with dim lighting.
30 Minutes Before Bed:
- Relaxation Techniques: Try light stretching, yoga, or meditation to calm your mind and body.
- Warm Bath or Shower: This helps lower your body temperature, signaling it's time to sleep.
15 Minutes Before Bed:
- Read or Journal: Engage in a calming activity like reading a book or writing in a journal to help wind down.
- Sip Herbal Tea: Enjoy a cup of chamomile or lavender tea to
promote relaxation.
At Bedtime:
- Set a Consistent Time: Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to regulate your circadian rhythm.
This routine can help you transition smoothly from day to night, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
