Back to school

Better Rest = Better Grades. Here’s how you can help your student 💤🛌✨🎉





Support Your Student with the Gift of Better Sleep!

If there’s one thing that’s an absolute necessity when it comes to getting good grades, it’s GOOD SLEEP! 💤 As you may know from personal experience, tired testing (and even learning) is no bueno. 

Whether your student is in kindergarten, college, or somewhere in between, these 8 healthy sleep hacks can help them get a good night of sleep all year long so they can always feel their best this school year:   

Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine

A calming pre-sleep routine signals your body that it's time to wind down. This could include reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation exercises. Help your student find their favorites and encourage them to wind down in the evening.


Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule

Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends, helps regulate your body's internal clock and improves sleep quality. While staying up late with friends can be fun, it’s best to try to keep a consistent sleep schedule as much as possible.


Limit Caffeine and Stimulant Intake

For older high school and college students who are tempted to reach for a caffeine boost, avoiding coffee and energy drinks in the late afternoon and evening is best. These can make it harder to fall asleep, and even disrupt sleep in the middle of the night!


Minimize Screen Time before Bed

Since the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, it’s best to limit exposure to electronic devices like smartphones, computers, and TVs at least an hour before bedtime.


Make Their Sleep Environment Comfortable

Ensure your student’s bedroom is conducive to sleep by keeping it dark, cool, and quiet. Investing in a comfortable, all-natural mattress and pillows that support sleeping posture can help them get the best sleep each night! (P.S. - If you're not sure which mattress or pillow is best for your student, ask us! We’re more than happy to guide you! 😀)


Stay Active During the Day

Engaging in regular physical activity or exercise during the day can help improve sleep quality. However, it’s best to avoid vigorous workouts too close to bedtime so that you don’t have trouble falling asleep.


Manage Stress

From test scores to peer pressure, school can be stressful to students of all ages! If your student is feeling stressed or anxious, yoga, deep breathing, and other stress-reducing exercises can be used to help calm their mind before bedtime for better rest. 


Avoid Alcohol and Smoking

These two popular past-times among the college crowd, while fun, may be detrimental to a student’s sleep. Although alcohol can initially make you feel drowsy, it disrupts the overall sleep cycle and reduces sleep quality. Similarly, smoking and nicotine can interfere with falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night.

White Lotus Love Story from Cathy J.: 

I have used White Lotus Dreamton futons for over 20 years and they are heavenly to sleep on! After 10-15 years when they have compressed a bit, add a wool topper and they are as good as new again. Their kapok pillows are also awesome, they stay fluffy for years :) Now that my kids are young adults, they are purchasing their own White Lotus bedding!
